You will need evolution-ews in order to connect using Exchange Web
Services  (you could also connect by IMAP to Exchange).

You have some "misconfiguration" in your apt sources. Debian Jessie has
evolution 3.12.9~git20141130.241663-1+b1, which won't conflict with the
evolution-ews you are trying to install. It looks like you added
another source that provides a newer evolution version, but not
an accompaning evolution-ews.
