Maven deployment location vs download location - maven

Question

I have a problem setting up things correctly; my end goal is to pull artifacts from one nexus (I'm going to refer to it as Nexus1) and deploy to another nexus (Nexus2), two are hosted in different locations with different domains.
Here's my settings.xml:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

The problem that I'm facing is that every time I build the project it still tries to upload to Nexus1 instead of Nexus2!!
EDIT: Here's a sample error message from Jenkins' output console:
ERROR: Failed to deploy artifacts: Could not transfer artifact com.company:covlogs:jar:0.0.2-20150928.201829-1 from/to snapshots (http://Nexus1/content/repositories/core-snapshot/): Failed to transfer file: http://Nexus1/content/repositories/core-snapshot/com/company/covlogs/0.0.2-SNAPSHOT/covlogs-0.0.2-20150928.201829-1.jar. Return code is: 401, ReasonPhrase: Unauthorized.
I'm still new to maven, and I'm not sure what's going wrong. I've been banging my head for a couple of days now on this.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
EDIT2: Steps I've taken, I've added the <distributionManagement> block hoping it would fix the issue, but that didn't work.
I've also added maven-deploy-plugin to pom.xml, but that didn't do anything either.
EDIT3: For Jenkins I'm using Maven Release plug-in to setup where I want the artifacts to be deployed to:
