You need domain membership for the SASL bind as well. Essentially, it is calling LogonUser under the hood to authenticate Windows users on the ADAM box, so users need rights to log on locally for bind redirection. Do you have an option for IPSEC or something to enable domain membership? Otherwis

Outlook shouldn't need it unless your DNS has fallen down. Exchange server itself needs it.
