Is this happening for all of your users, or just one (or a handful?).. Also, it is ANY external address, or just a couple?
My first thought is that you configured an outbound SMTP connector with a smarthost and accidentally pointed it back in to your own Exchange infrastructure..

Happening for one user going to Just one external address and the outbound smtp connector has following settings:
Use Domain Name settings ("MX") to route mail automatically
Use external DNS lookup settings on the transport server
