Looks like WPEngine allows you to use an external SMTP provider: https://wpengine.com/support/using-3rd-party-email-provider-send-mail-wordpress/ $5/month for a VM with places like vultur, linode, digital ocean. I run a few VMs, and all get 10/10 with that mail test site mentioned earlier. Postfix with SPF, DKIM, and rDNS records are what I use. Ought to be pretty solid for all but the most demanding users. I haven't needed to look into DMARC at all, but could add it if needed. Otherwise with WPEngine, mailgun, sendgrid, looks like there are options to get your messages onto reliable mail gateways.
