Yes, I know you can have multiple outgoing servers configured (in fact, I 
do have a bunch) but there are some e-mail providers that will reject 
sending e-mails which don't come from their own address (@example.com) 
and you still don't have your Outlook Live setup correctly ;-)

No "minor tweaks" my lady ;-), you have to configure the smtp server as 
they say, which means you have to search for the proper "smtp settings" 
as the video at the bottom explains ("How do I find the server 
settings?").

If you are convinced you're using the right data for the smtp server and 
still getting an error, try to setup the same account from another e-mail 
client (better from an outlookized machine to discard a windowsity 
anomaly) and see how it goes. Should this neither works, I would contact 
the Outlook Live assistance/technical support service and explain your 
problem.
