Outlook won't send using SMTP when disconnected from Exchange

I have a bunch of POP/SMTP accounts that are setup on my laptop that happens to connect to an Exchange server as well. When I'm not on the network (or when I connect via VPN), I cannot send messages using SMTP. I can receive fine.

"Sounds like email relaying is not allowed.

Your ISP (Internet Service Provider) may not permit an outside SMTP server to send email. Because of this, you may need to use your ISP's outgoing mail server (SMTP) setting.

Verify that the following settings are correct in your email client:

Your SMTP server is entered correctly. It should be smtp.yourdomain.com, replacing ""yourdomain.com"" with your own domain name.
Your email client is set to authenticate.

If these solutions don't work, you may need to use your ISP's outgoing mail server (SMTP) setting. Contact your ISP for the appropriate SMTP setting for sending mail."

Check your POP account settings to see that they specify an outgoing SMTP server that is different from your Exchange server.
