I don't know anything about Exchange but you can't send email with IMAP.
IMAP for clients to access already-delivered email stored on a server.
Sendmail doesn't do IMAP because sendmail is for delivering email.
There are IMAP servers (and clients) for Linux but that's not what
you're looking for here.

Can you telnet to the smtp port (25) on the Exchange server from the
Linux box?  Based on the message above it looks like the Exchange server
isn't listening on port 25 or maybe there's some sort of firewall
blocking access.  (Remember, I know *nothing* about Exchange.)
