Actually, the "tcpdump" documentation is misleading. In the attached
PCAP file (single outbound query), "tcpdump" reports "[1au]", but the
query has no authority records, rather it has an EDNS(0) OPT record:
tcpdump output:
02:57:17.063675 IP (tos 0x0, ttl 64, id 37926, offset 0, flags [none],
proto UDP (17), length 76)
100.2.39.101.25779 > 1.1.1.1.53: 45584+% [1au] NS? secureshopping.info.
(48)
tshark output:

The OPT record is needed to set the "DO" bit, and to convey the
EDNS buffer size. Some router on your network has broken DNS, and
is generating fake NXDomain responses for DNSSEC-enabled queries.
FWIW, Exim does not actually "need" to set the DO bit, setting the
AD bit in the request would suffice, and would not require an OPT
record, but libresolv does not have "RES_AD" option, rather it only
has RES_DNSSEC, which then also elicits the AD bit.
If there were a simple way to get the stub resolver to set only
the AD bit, Exim could use that, and you'd not run into this
particular obstacle, but the fault is wither whatever device
is filtering your DNS queries. It is b0rked, and it would
be good to find a way to get it to stop doing that.
