Jack,

If you can use Outlook to send mail through your Exchange server, then 
the problem most certainly isn't with the Exchange server. You just 
don't have the client settings correct in blat or whatever. Questions:

+ port 25 or no? If no, could be 993 or 465
+ SSL or no? Probably SSL, probably wrapped in TLS
+ secure authentication or no? Probably yes

Google for testing smtp servers using telnet. Then once you can send 
mail using a manual telnet session, you'll have all the pieces known to 
send email using your setup.

Again, if mail clients can send mail through your Exchange server, then 
there's nothing misconfigured on the Exchange side. Unless Microsoft has 
done some incredibly shifty things when I wasn't looking. Which of 
course is always possible. :)

But... if you can't set TBird or Outlook to send mail through Exchange, 
ask the consultants why that doesn't work and have them give you the 
proper settings. Say "I can't get my Thunderbird to send mail through 
Exchange. What am I doing wrong?" and send them the settings you are using.

Paul
