When there is a CA in the trust anchor set, and a server cert issued by
some CA not in the trust anchor set, generally the server should
transmit not only their end-system cert but any chain certs needed to
validate from the default trust anchor set.

I am not clear on Let's Encrypt; my impression is that one needs a
chain cert from someplace on some systems, and on newer systems or some
systems, the Let's Encrypt root is present.

Which is a long way of asking if your mail server is presenting the
chain cert needed from DST?
