data want;
set have;
if exsttm ne ' '
then do;
  hour = input(substr(exsttm,1,2),2.);
  minute = input(substr(exsttm,4,2),2.);
end;
else do;
  hour = 0;
  minute = 0;
end;
newdt = dhms(exstdt,hour,minute,0);
format newdt E8601DT19.;
run;

Note that the ISO 8601 standard always has yyyy-mm-dd, never dd-mm-yyyy in dates.

And there is no option to display SAS datetime values without seconds when using an e8601 format, AFAIK.
