It looks like you're using Microsoft BPOS - the predecessor to Office 365

Did you follow the guide here:
Connect a Mobile Device to Exchange Online BPOS Standard

Typically there's something before mail.microsoftonline.com like red001.mail.microsoftonline.com

And unless you have a strange BPOS Setup the domain field should be blank.
