The DNS server reported that the destination has no MX record (RFC
5321 requires MX before A lookups) and that the destination has no
A record.
When the DNS server says that the destination has no record that
is required for SMTP, then the mail is not deliverable due to a
permanent error.

Incorrect. The problem has nothing to do with transport maps.
