You can't tell for certain that they didn't check the mx1.
Perhaps there was a network error. Sometimes route announcements
don't make it to the whole world, sometimes packets to some hosts
but not others end up on a broken member of a load-balanced port
group.

Related, note that some SMTP software doesn't fall to a lower
priority MX if the higher priority one connects but rejects with
temporary failure. Things work best if all listed MX that accept
connections are prepared to accept mail.
