The "best" thing you can do is probably to set ignore_bounce_errors_after = 0s
and silently forget about undeliverable bounce messages. If others can't
receive bounces, it's their problem.
However, the error message seems to indicate that they require the envelope
sender (MAIL FROM: address) to include the connecting host's hostname or the
EHLO name. If that's the case, then they are truly lost.
