If the clients are setup for MAPI and not as a POP3 client, which I'm going
to assume here, since they're connecting via VPNs, then I would imagine that
the relay error is based on your server trying to relay to another server.
Do yu have an SMTP connector? Are you sending thru a Smart Host, maybe your
ISP or some other DNS?

Yes, do check with your ISP.
