What does postconf smtpd_policy_service_timeout return on your servers? That defaults to 100s and according to your logs, it's returning sooner than that. A totally braindead DNS server can suck up up to 80s (20s SPF HELO lookup + 20s TXT HELO lookup + 20s Mail From SPF lookup + 20s Mail From TXT lookup).
