Does this include an NTLM plugin?

Perhaps you mean:
relayhost = [exchangeserver.ourdomain.com]
which is better when MX record lookups are not intended.

Which mechanism does Postfix attempt to use? (add the destination to
debug_peer_list and examine the verbose logs).

Is that what Postfix uses? 334 just means continue, which means that
NTLM authentication requires a multi round-trip handshake.

If you put "[]" around the relayhost setting, do likewise around
the password table lookup key.
This may not be the right username format. Perhaps you need:
DOMAIN\myuser. However, if your server supports GSSAPI, you might
have more luck with that. You just need a working credential cache
in KRB5CCNAME. An hourly cron job can run "kinit" to refresh the
ccache, while KRB5CCNAME can be added to the Postfix SMTP client
by setting "import_environment" to include all the default values
plus "KRB5CCNAME=FILE:/some/path".
