Yes this in a normal thing, a principal by-product of the internal combustion engine is water.
The only source of abnormal "water" in the exhaust would be engine coolant entering the combustion chambers because of an intake manifold or head gasket leak. If there's no evidence of coolant loss or consumption, you're probably experiencing a "normal" event.

It's probably condensation. The smell is caused by the exhaust.

this is normal, condensation plays a part and the catalytic converter, which also creates a bit of water when working properly.
