Sending mail is via SMTP to the Exchange server, receiving mail is via the IMAP protocol.
Since sending mail doesn't require a password (SMTP doesn't support it) I suspect that you don't have the exchange user id and password set up correctly. Without more info, it's hard to say.

Setting up your email accounts
The first time you open Mail, it automatically sets up accounts for you using the information from the .Mac pane of System Preferences and the Mail Setup Assistant. If no information is found, you will be prompted to set up a new account.
You can set up additional accounts for Mail later on. Mail makes it easy by stepping you through the process.
To add an account:
Choose File > Add Account.
Choose the type of account you have from the Account Type pop-up menu.
Contact your Internet service provider (ISP) or mail account provider to find out what kind of account you have.
An Internet Messaging Access Protocol (IMAP) account allows you to view your mail and enclosures, but leaves them on your ISP's mail server so you can view them from multiple computers.
A Post Office Protocol (POP) account keeps your mail and enclosures on the POP servers at your ISP until you use Mail to log in and download the messages and enclosures to your computer.
A .Mac account is an IMAP account provided as part of Apple's .Mac services. To sign up for a .Mac account, open the .Mac pane of System Preferences and click Sign Up. You can also use a web browser to send and receive email with a .Mac account.
An Exchange account allows you to connect to your Exchange server via IMAP, and if you enter text in the Outlook Web Access Server field, Mail filters non-email related content from the server. (You can get the text you need to enter from your mail account provider.) For Exchange to work with Mail, Exchange administrators need to configure the Exchange server for IMAP access. Some system administrators may refer to an Outlook Web Access Server as an Internet Information Services (IIS) server.
Enter the information requested, clicking the Continue button to move through the pages.
To set up a .Mac account, type your name in the Full Name field, and your .Mac user name and password in the User Name and Password fields. Mail fills in the rest.
For other accounts, enter the information described below. If you're not sure what to enter, contact your ISP or mail account provider, or see the information you received when you signed up for the account.
Account Description: The description you enter is shown in the mailbox list. If you have multiple accounts, enter something that will help you distinguish this account from others, such as "Tom's work email."
Full Name: The name displayed in your outgoing mail. For example, Tom Clark.
Email Address: Enter your full email address. This will be the From address in your outgoing messages. For example, tclark3@example.com.
Incoming Mail Server: The server where your mail waits for you to retrieve it. Also called a POP or IMAP server. Enter the address (name) of the mail server where your mail account resides, and where mail is stored. For example, mail.example.com.
User Name: The name used to identify you to the mail server. Also known as an account name. For example, tom.
Password: The mail password for your account.
Outgoing Mail Server: The server that sends your mail to its destination. Also known as an SMTP server. For example, smtp.example.com. To see the server in use by each mail account, choose Edit Server List from the Outgoing Mail Server pop-up menu.
To set options for the account, choose Mail > Preferences. Click Accounts and select the account in the Accounts list. In the Mailbox Behaviors pane, select options for storing and deleting drafts, sent mail, junk mail, and deleted mail. The options are different for the different kinds of accounts.
In the Advanced pane, select options to enable the account, include the account when checking for new mail, compact mailboxes automatically, and automatically synchronize changed mailboxes.
If "Automatically synchronize changed mailboxes" is selected, when you connect to your IMAP account, the full content of messages in all your mailboxes will be downloaded and stored on your computer, allowing you to disconnect and still have full access to all your messages. If this option is not selected, only messages in your In mailbox and other mailboxes you've visited since the last time new messages arrived will be downloaded and stored on your computer. Selecting this option is handy if you log in to your mail server only periodically, since you won't have to remember to manually synchronize your accounts. Check with your system administrator before selecting automatic synchronization or changing any of its options. To manually synchronize your mailboxes, choose Mailbox > Synchronize > All Accounts.
To remove an account, select it in the account list and click the Delete (-) button.
