Van den Dries's transfer conjecture for o-minimal exponential fields

Let K=(K,+,,,0,1,<,E)\mathcal{K}=(K,+,-,\cdot,0,1,<,E) be an ordered exponential field, meaning that EE is an order-preserving isomorphism from the ordered additive group (K,+,0,<)(K,+,0,<) to the ordered multiplicative group (K>0,,1,<)(K^{>0},\cdot,1,<). Call K\mathcal{K} an EXP\operatorname{EXP}-field if its exponential satisfies the first-order sentence expressing the differential equation E=EE'=E. Van den Dries's transfer conjecture. Any o-minimal EXP\operatorname{EXP}-field is elementarily equivalent to

Rexp.\mathbb{R}_{\exp}.

The conjecture would imply that every o-minimal EXP\operatorname{EXP}-field has the complete first-order theory of real exponentiation. It is not known whether every o-minimal EXP\operatorname{EXP}-field is already a model of TexpT_{\exp}, so the conjecture remains open.
