Firstly, to limit confusion, there is no such thing as SMBX.  But the
fact that all traffic is on port 445 is promising, as it has already
been found that windows refuses SMB2 traffic on port 139 (at least in
some situations):

As to why a client would simply not choose SMB2 when connected to 445
and available, that is a mystery that we may need to ask Microsoft
about.  

In any case, Volker is your best resource here, as he is one of the
Samba Team's most experienced developers, particularly as regards our
SMB and SMB2 implementations.
