I'm hitting the exact same problem. In my case I have a samba 4.0.1 DC 
which was my only DC.  It has been working for a while and is still 
working for querying MX records.  I added a 4.0.5 DC on another network, 
and it will NOT resolve MX records, with the exact same symptoms: 
samba-tool dns query will show the records, but a query against the 
server returns NXDOMAIN.

Seems something broke possibly in a version > 4.0.1, or possibly with 
the way DNS is replicated.
