I was experiencing this exact same bug as well. Based on information I
read in the corresponding RedHat report
(https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=879773) I was able to get
this to work by removing all the Evolution configuration directories
(which did have some prior attempts at configuration from a long time
ago) and killing and restarting Evolution:
[Fri Aug 8 10:02:25 EDT 2014] > mike at ossy in ~
↪ rm -rf .config/evolution/ .cache/evolution/ .local/share/evolution/
[Fri Aug 8 10:02:40 EDT 2014] > mike at ossy in ~
↪ pkill evolution
I went through the account wizard again, and after adding the password
prompt showed up and I was able to type the password and add the
account.

Title:
Can't create EWS or MAPI account
Status in “evolution-data-server” package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
Evolution appears unable to create an EW or MAPI account. All the
steps proceed normally, including fetching the URL (for EWS) or
authenticating (for MAPI). However, at the conclusion of account
creation process, no actual account appears in the list.
I've tried starting Evolution from the command line using various
DEBUG_ variables and there are no EWS- or MAPI-specific errors. So I'm
not exactly sure what to do next.
I am fairly certain the problem doesn't lie with my corporate Exchange
server, as web mail works fine and any other EWS-capable client (like
the mail app in Android).
