 From the Dovecot wiki about ntlm_auth:

Dovecot currently does blocking lookups, so if ntlm_auth is slow on 
responding (e.g. network problems), Dovecot blocks all other 
authentication requests until it's finished.

Just wondering if Outlook parallelises it's sessions and ntlm_auth is 
blocking because of the timing between the requests.

Have you tried a test user with local authentication?
