Why do you think that this is SPF related trouble? Headers above
shows, that a message has passed SPF tests, that means that DNS query
was successful. Even if it were not, timeout for DNS query typically
is set to 10 seconds, so it's not the reason for other party to drop
connection and resend a message later.
Even more, SPF get's checked just after 'MAIL FROM:' issue from other
party, and it the connection were timing out at this moment, there
would be no message at all to reach your qq handler.

If I were you, I'd temporarily turned off SpamAssassin (or disabled
bayest tests and learning completely in local.cf), as the common cause
for connections to time out after a DATA sequence is a way to long
time SA takes to check a message in several rare conditions.
