The part of the log that shows what mail server it is talking to would be helpful.
The MS Exchange server has to have SMTP enabled - you'll need to ask and Exchange expert about how to do that.
For Solaris 8 and below to make your Solaris machine use a particular machine as its mail server you can put an entry into its /etc/hosts file giving the IP address, name and then an alias of mailhost, this can be done in DNS using a MX (mail exchanger) record..

NAME
mailcompat - provide SunOS compatibility for Solaris mailbox format
DESCRIPTION
mailcompat is a program to provide SunOS 4.x compatability for the Solaris mailbox format. You would typically run mailcompat to be able
to read mail on a workstation running SunOS 4.x when your mail server is running Solaris.
Enabling mailcompat creates an entry in your .forward file, if it exists. If this file does not exist, mailcompat will create it. Dis-
abling mailcompat will remove the entry from the .forward file, and if this was the only entry, will remove the entire file.
To execute mailcompat, log onto the Solaris mail server and enter mailcompat on the command line. Answer the queries provided by the pro-
gram.
USAGE
