Unable to send email on linux server using postfix and tomcat application

Hi ,
We have a linux server with postfix as mail server,
We are able to send emails from the command, we are able to telnet and send emails fine with no authentication , however the tomcat app we are running is failing with this error below.

Hi All, so instead of using the localhost as the mail host on java properties file, if i use an internal exchange server's IP, emails go out fine. now we have a diff issue. Emails go fine to internal emails, however to the external emails the mails end up staying in the exchange server queue. here is the smtp logs
