Cannot send email out

Should it come back as this?

Nope The MX record should point to your mailserver, and it should also show the A record. Here is my internal DNS lookup

[zimbra@office ~]$ dig xxxxxxx.net mx

FQDN mail.coqueths.internal Mail Priority 10
FQDN mail.coqueths.internal Host(A) 192.168.8.10

So if you dig mail.coqueths.internal mx it comes back okay ... Well that is your FQDN and not your domain name which is coqueths.internal. So I would suggest checking your DNS
