Mantis XAMPP Email configuration

Question

I have matisbt 1.2.12 deployed in XAMPP . I am not able to configure the email(Microsoft Exachnage server ). My config_inc look like this:

    <?php
         $g_hostname = 'localhost';
         $g_db_type = 'mysql';
         $g_database_name = 'bugtracker';
         $g_db_username = 'root';
         $g_db_password = 'XXXXXX';
         #Branding Mantis
         #Display
         $g_window_title = 'XXXXX';
         $g_favicon_image='images/XXXX';
         $g_logo_url = 'http://XXXX';
         $g_logo_image = 'images/XXXXX'; 
         #SMTP Config
         $g_log_level = LOG_EMAIL | LOG_EMAIL_RECIPIENT;
         $g_log_destination = 'file:D:/Bug_tracker/xampp/apache/logs/mantisbt.log';
         $g_allow_signup    = ON;  //allows the users to sign up for a new account
         $g_enable_email_notification = ON; //enables the email messages
         $g_phpMailer_method = PHPMAILER_METHOD_SMTP;
         $g_smtp_host = 'XXXXX';
         $g_smtp_connection_mode = 'tls';
         $g_smtp_port = '25';
         $g_smtp_username = 'XXXXXXX';
         $g_smtp_password = 'XXXXXX';
         $g_from_email = 'XX@XXXX';
         $g_administrator_email = 'XXXXXXXX'; 
         $g_from_name         = 'XXX Bug Tracker';
     ?>

The host is the ip address of exchange server. The log files at $g_log_destination gives

Password reset for email = User email id here
2013-03-07 13:31 EST mail Processing 27 queued messages
2013-03-07 13:31 EST mail Sending message #52 queued on 2013-03-07 13:31 EST
2013-03-07 13:31 EST mail Sending message #51 queued on 2013-03-07 13:20 EST

2013-03-07 13:31 EST mail Sending message #48 queued on 2013-03-07 12:53 EST

I tried $g_smtp_connection_mode = 'ssl' also. When i put PHPMAILER_METHOD_SMTP inside single quotes. The email content is generated in the folder xampp\tmp\mailoutput

I have download the testmail.php from http://www.mantisbt.org/forums/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=15398. It works fine.

Try configuring the following set of lines to put in your config_inc.php
