You could be right about warm, moist air leaking in. I am surprised it would be enough to condense on the walls. Do you live someplace very warm and humid in the summer time? I would start by removing the fan and trying to see why it doesn't fit better, adding caulking or even the foam sealing strips you press in. You might also try a flapper over the vent like on dryer vents to keep air from coming in the vent.

You might go into your profile and give your location. Protect your privacy, do not give a full name or exact location.
