We report a comprehensive inelastic neutron scattering study of the hybrid molecule-based multiferroic compound $({ND}_{4})_{2} {FeCl}_{5} \cdot D_{2} O$ in the zero-field incommensurate cycloidal phase and the high-field quasicollinear phase. The spontaneous electric polarization changes its direction concurrently with the field-induced magnetic transition, from mostly aligned with the crystallographic $a$ axis to the $c$ axis. To account for such a change in polarization direction, the underlying multiferroic mechanism was proposed to switch from the spin-current model induced via the inverse Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction to the $p - d$ hybridization model. We perform a detailed analysis of the inelastic neutron data of $({ND}_{4})_{2} {FeCl}_{5} \cdot D_{2} O$ using linear spin-wave theory to quantify magnetic interaction strengths and investigate the possible impact of different multiferroic mechanisms on the magnetic couplings. Overall our result reveals that the spin dynamics of both multiferroic phases can be well described by a Heisenberg Hamiltonian with easy-plane anisotropy. We do not find notable differences between the optimal model parameters of the two phases. The hierarchy of exchange couplings and the balance among frustrated interactions remain the same between two phases, suggesting that magnetic interactions in $({ND}_{4})_{2} {FeCl}_{5} \cdot D_{2} O$ are much more robust than the electric polarization in response to delicate reorganizations of the electronic degrees of freedom in an applied magnetic field.
