I leave this to receiver decision. Nowadays it is not problem to setup
DANE, if receiver did it i (as sender) will know, that it requires TLS
and the cert have to be validated (even in more secure way than with PKI
if DANE-EE is chosen). I do not bother with other receivers -- try TLS,
then fallback to plaintext...

I am in (slowly) process to implement DANE-EE for itself now...

Encryption of email provides only transport security (on hop by hop
base), if privacy of message really matter, IMO one have to use PGP (or
so) for it.
