For reference, the setup using the 1and1 DNS panel is:

Create a subdomain of mail.mydomain.co.uk
for the DNS of the subdomain of mail.mydomain.co.uk set the A record IP to the exchange server IP
for the main domain of mydomain.co.uk change the MX record from 1and1 to "other mail server" and enter mail.mydomain.co.uk priority 5
Allow an extraordinarily long time for it all to update.
All I have read on dns suggests priority 10 is prioritised?
