Unfortunately, this is a bug in upstream systemd. For some reason, resolved's current upstream code clamps the 'best' server protocol level at 512-byte-sized EDNS0 if DNSSEC is disabled. Since the default is for DNSSEC to be disabled, this means by default, resolved will restrict its udp edns0 packets sent to upstream nameservers at 512 bytes, as you indicated in the bug description.
normally, this is ok because most nameservers support TCP, and resolved always falls back to TCP when it finds a truncated response. However, your upstream nameserver seems to either not support TCP DNS, or its port 53 is firewalled for TCP. This will take some time to open an upstream bug and investigate patching.

I tried to found a way to change UDP_PAYLOAD_SIZE,but it seems it is only possible to change it only with direct code modifications.
