I have removed the mail-exchanger entry from the VM hosters web
interface, ISP suite, whatever i thought looking at those forms.
Thanks for the suggestion!

I assume that's just your subjective preference rather than an RFC, or
similar, recommendation?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mx_record#History_of_fallback_to_address_record
says RFC 5321 still states the fallback.  I don't recall that using A
instead of MX stops SPF, etc.

If not MX for foo.com exists then foo.com's port 25 is contacted

Oh it is sendmail.

Well, i have not looked since 2016 but likely the MX DNS record
which is used to point people to the right A (IPv4) or  (IPv6)
DNS record(s) of the mail server which handles mail on my domain
points to sdaoden.eu.
Then problem on my side, i should add an MX entry for
lists.sdaoden.eu which points to lists.sdaoden.eu not sdaoden.eu.
My knowledge of DNS is a bit rusty.
Sorry for the noise.

Do not hesitate to send such messages in the future.  Anyway.
