SOLUTION

To resolve this issue, make sure that you use the correct syntax for domain names and host names in the New-MoveRequest cmdlet. The New-MoveRequest cmdlet requires all domain names and host names to be enclosed in single quotation marks (').

The following is an example of incorrect syntax: 
'alias' | New-MoveRequest -Outbound -RemoteHostName webmail.contoso.com -RemoteCredential $onprem -RemoteTargetDatabase Database1 -TargetDeliveryDomain contoso.com
The following is an example of correct syntax. (Note that this example uses single quotation marks around domain names and host names.) 
'alias' | New-MoveRequest -OutBound -RemoteTargetDatabase 'Database1' -RemoteHostName 'webmail.contoso.com' -RemoteCredential $onprem -TargetDeliveryDomain 'contoso.com'
