Name servers may include or not, according to various local policy settings, the Authority section appropriate to an answer. When you use dig for the explicit lookup of the NS records, you get the answer appropriate in the Answer section instead. You don't actually need the NS records as part of the response to the MX query, as long as you get the Answer with the MX. Why are you setting +nocd? It looks like you're still seeing a SERVFAIL for the MX record, at least in what you posted. SERVFAIL means something is wrong, possibly with the resolver (also called "recursive" or "recursive server") itself. That's not the answer you need.
