If  your  account  was  hacked,  you'd expect to see bounces from your
usual  mail  server.   Because  you  are seeing only NDNs from foreign
servers, that suggests that your email address was spoofed on messages
that  were  sent from somewhere else, and you got the few bounces from
poorly configured mail servers that accept-then-bounce.

To  be  sure, simply drill in to the NDNs you received.  You should be
able  to  see  full  headers  of  the original messages, and that will
quickly  reveal  whether the messages came through your mail server or
from somewhere else (likely some compromised machine or botnet).
