Yes, this server must be an exit node.

: at port 443, but people browse the website on the same IP at port 80
: using Tor, will their circuit exit from this Tor server?
No. The exit policy is honored. If example.com is a tor exit
server, but it doesn't allow port 80 to exit, you will not
extend a circuit through tor to get to example.com:80.
The traffic will go through another exit server that allows port 80.
