o> This problem [...]
... is only a problem in your perception. It is not, in fact, a problem
at all. "Additional" section processing for "MX" resource record sets
is purely an optimisation. It is not intrinsically necessary, as
"additional" section processing for "NS" resource record sets is. Also
note that you are querying a proxy DNS server. "Additional" section
processing, of any sort, is not intrinsically necessary for proxy DNS
servers, only for content DNS servers. (Indeed, "additional" section
processing by proxy DNS servers is wasted bandwidth as far as most DNS
Client libraries and application programs are concerned. They'll take
the resource record set that they _actually asked for_, and discard the
remainder of the response.)

No, it isn't. The cause of those problems, whatever they are, lies
elsewhere. The mail system error messages will tell you where.
