You have not posted any evidence of troubleshooting steps taken, such as
"dig gmx.net" from each place. I suspect a MUA configuration issue. As
you can see, my MUA works fine with GMX. I use AUTH and TLS over the
submission port (587). It works from home and anywhere else, unless of
course they use proxy servers and block outbound traffic.

9.3.1 is generally recommended for new installs.

Take that out! Use the default settings. Do not set up any kind of local
zone, even a "type forward", unless it is a domain which you control.

Of course not.

First, prove to us that DNS is not working using the default settings
for the root zone.
