It was a very BAD idea to install SharePoint on a production Exchange server
and NOT recommended. To fix the problem you may need to re-install exchange
and if you wan to make it work there are several steps to take but not
guarantee to work
I had a similar problem with sharepoint team services (same technology) but
on a front-end server (the recommended way) and here are the links that
helped me fix the problem:

Good luck
