I did test it on a Android device, and did see that the server url was  
correct, but that the configuration for the username contained the  
email address. As the xml element is named EmailAddress I don't know  
if there are
unintended consequences as the email address is needed too (e.g.  
sending emails)

I searched for documentation and found  
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/office/bb204196%28v=exchg.150%29.aspx

So LegacyDN could be an option, but i didn't have the opportunity to  
test if it is used by the clients
