As a thought (probably wrong) could this be caused by your O365 users
forwarding INCOMING email to them FROM outlook.com and/or mail.alokind.com
to external addresses?

Whilst not being an expert, probably not.

It is not certain that this is what is occurring.  For example, your setup
would not preclude other tenants pointing their outgoing email to your Exim
(not that this would be sensible for them).

You may wish to have some authentication between O365 and Exim.  The MS
document linked discusses how to do this with certificates.

If authentication is implemented and messages flow, one knows that the use
of the connector is intentional from the O365 end.
