This is SMTP syntax that has been deprecated forever. RFC 822
(released 1982) discourages its use and later RFCs do the same.
Postfix supports this syntax only in SMTP commands, by removing
the @ms-exch.example.com: portion. And that would not work for you,
since you have multiple servers that accept only [EMAIL PROTECTED]
not [EMAIL PROTECTED]

A transport maps entry like this:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] smtp:ms-exch.example.com
Should do the job.
