Activation email not being delivered, test email working

Followed the advice from this thread:

Added the connector and used the MX-adress given from O365 admin site.

I decided to rebuild the entire Droplet (from DigitalOcean) after having rebuild the app, to see if that would help. And it did! I now have the forum running and could receive the activation email on my admin account.
However i still can’t receive email when i try to create an account with my personal gmail, I’m getting the following error message in the ‘skipped’ section under email settings in the forum admin page:
5…4 TenantAttribution; Relay Access Denied [HE…-eur04.prod.protection.outlook.com]

Looks like this might be the solution:

But i haven’t tried it yet. I will update once i have time to implement the change from the link.

Quick sidenote - will rebuilding the app mess with any settings i made after activation my admin account?
