Have you tried to reset the account with a different UID?
Here is an example from SQL BOL:

EXEC master.dbo.xp_sqlagent_proxy_account N'SET',
             N'NETDOMAIN', -- agent_domain_name
             N'ralph', -- agent_username
             N'RalphPwd', – agent password

If this does not work, will it return the same error?
