One thing I see is that my host is dual-stack, I see now that I get 
SERVFAIL or a timeout if I ask for the AAAA record... The same query to 
8.8.8.8 gives NOERROR with an empty answer (so -- no AAAA records).

If I watch dns queries and responses with tcpdump while forcing a 
delivery attempt I see dozens of AAAA queries with empty responses, e.g:

     1.2.3.4.35093 > 104.47.44.8.53: 48007% [1au] AAAA? 
ns2-gtm.glbdns.o365filtering.com. (61)
IP (tos 0x0, ttl 239, id 43501, offset 0, flags [DF], proto UDP (17), 
length 89)
     104.47.38.8.53 > 1.2.3.4.27494: 25886*- 0/0/1 (61)

this repeats many times

I hadn't but doing so does not help.
