sts-webpki-invalid means Mimecast failed to validate a certificate. As the 
certificates match the hostnames, are neither expired nor revoked, contain the 
EKU server authentication and provide the proper intermediate certificates, the 
only plausible explanation left is that Mimecast is unable to chain them back 
to a trusted root certificate.
The funny thing is that the software they are using to fetch the MTA-STS policy 
itself is apparently trusting the Hellenic Academic root.

This leaves the options:
- Ask a Mimecast customer to open a support ticket so that Mimecast eventually 
adds the Hellenic Academic and Research Institutions ECC RootCA 2015 to the 
trusted certificate list on their MTA as well
- Use a certificate which chains back to another root
- Remove the MTA-STS policy
