It looks like the delivery was trying first the ipv6 address that it got as the
highest-priority MX return in routing, then the transport interface setting
was inoperative as documented:

> The first interface of the correct type (IPv4 or IPv6) is used for the outgoing
> connection. If none of them are the correct type, the option is ignored. If
> interface is not set, or is ignored, the system’s IP functions choose which
> interface to use if the host has more than one.



You could disable the ipv6 MX returns for this domain using the global option
"dns_ipv4_lookup".
