Perhaps it's an Exchange gateway rather than Outlook itself which is
making all the attachments appear to be octet-stream?

Outlook Express appears to attach images as images just fine:

The actual embedded MIME header-block:

< ------=_NextPart_000_0005_01C207EA.1C2629C0
< Content-Type: image/png;
<         name="5min.png"
< Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64
< Content-Disposition: attachment;
<         filename="5min.png"

I generated that by drag'n'drop onto an OE message window.
