The sub/domain should be protected by the DMARC record even without an MX
record, I can't find anything in the RFC to say otherwise and some senders
(mostly marketing, ime) use 5322.from domains with no MX records and a
"Reply-to:" header with a working domain.

>Could the syntax error caused by the receiving domain may not have the txt
record to authorize the reports reception?
It certainly could, of course we can't check up on that without the
domain.  The answer will probably depend on what is actually throwing the
syntax error, is it a DMARC-checking tool on the internet, a receiver's
DMARC filter, or your DNS provider?

It looks like your last clause (rua=) is missing the semicolon at the end,
receivers will care about that to varying degrees but it might be causing
the error you see, again depending on what's giving the error.

My best,
