so this is coming out of your directory directly, right?

If I understood correctly, you do not have the values for LDAP- and 
SMTP-server in your directory, so you cannot just sends this information 
to automx, right?
This is the problem?

If the answer form LDAP is
if $addresse  ~= *tenant.onmicrosoft.com
	then smptserver = microsoftserver
	then imapserver = microsoftserver

The easiest way would be to store the information directly in your LDAP 
and send it back to automx.
