    Although I do agree with you Peter on leaving the last Exchange server in place, the option stated by Kais_mbarki should work.
    Requirements are creating a connector in EXO from his WAN IP (or option e-mail server of your org in the EXO ECP) to Office 365 and adding a whitelist entry for the IP in EXO as well.
    If you then specify your Office 365 "MX record" so your-domain-com.onmicrosoft.com in the app as the mail server with port set to 25 and SSL to ON it should work.
    I have several clients who are using Office 365 as a relay server this way.
    By the way, I wouldn't suggest using the authentication method anymore because basic auth support will be discontinued in the future.
