It was ExRCA reporting this. But never mind, this was due to user  
error. I assumed that I could just repeat the e-mail addres in the  
'Domain\User Name (or UPN)' field (according to the popup windows),  
but this is not the case. What worked here was

    E-mail address: username at example.com
    Domain\User Name (or UPN): example.com/username (not: username at example.com)

With the above settings I get a green checkmark for the connectivity test.

I use a SRV record (_autodiscover._tcp.example.com) by the way. This  
is an elegant way to direct the /Autodiscover/Autodiscover.xml to the  
ActiveSync server if the SSL certificate is for something else than  
'example.com' or 'autodiscover.example.com'. It would be even better,  
if Android would only support this... :-(
