Ok I found the issue and I think you should be aware :

if you setup an address for exchange server and the exchange server
has an fqdn string inside it .
the  connection will be made not to address you have put but to the
address resolved by the dns query.

so if the resolved ip is blocked (by firewall  for example) the
profile creation will fail.
