That record isn't visible from here. Are you sure it's actually there?

You should probably also change the '~all' to '?all'. Some people may be
rejecting mail for a 'softfail' result, even though they shouldn't. In
fact, some people even reject for an 'unknown' result, so it's better
not to publish an SPF record at all.
