That is an issue with this particular server installation:

|[1/499]mh@q:~$ telnet mail.example.com 25
|Trying 193.x.x.x...
|Connected to mail.example.com.
|Escape character is '^]'.
|220 mail.example.com Microsoft ESMTP MAIL Service, Version: 6.0.3790.0 ready at Wed, 4 May 2005 10:34:22 +0200
|ehlo myhost.example
|250-mail.example.com Hello [195.x.x.x]

|250 OK
|quit
|221 2.0.0 mail.example.com Service closing transmission channel
|Connection closed by foreign host.
|[2/500]mh@q:~$

Exchange can do ESMTP just fine.
