It's impossible not to send email via SMTP - of course your Exchange setup
has one. Ask your IT admin what the server address should be. And make sure
Exchange is configured for IMAP. It may be the same address as receiving
(IMAP) server, or may not.

Exchange mail CAN run on the IMAP protocol, if it is set up to do so. By
default, it's set to MAPI, not IMAP. It needs your IT guy to enable IMAP,
which he can do. He must know that (or else he is really not very good at
his job.) He seems to resisting doing so, which may be due to some company
policy (for some silly reason), or he just can't be bothered to do it for
you.

Ask him to please enable IMAP for Exchange mail (it won't hurt other
people's MAPI). If he does so, your problems will be over.
