Outlook is a mail program.
Exchange is a mail server.
They were designed to work together, but they are separate products and one doesn't actually NEED the other.
Exchange uses standard SMTP to transmit mail over the internet. Communication between Outlook and Exchange can be done via RPC over HTTP (port 80), RPC over HTTPS (port 443), POP3 (Port 110 - mail delivery), SMTP (port 25 - in conjunction with POP3), or IMAP (port 143), and MAPI (initially using port 135 and then a random port).
If you're not familiar with those terms, I recommend Wikipedia or google.
And keep in mind, many (but not all) of those ports CAN be changed for generally aren't. Further, there are secure versions of some of those protocols that can also use different ports.

MOST LIKELY, you're using port 443. Using port 80 would mean the traffic is unencrypted and a potentially huge security risk.
