A quick check with mxtoolbox.com shows the following:
Reverse DNS does not match SMTP Banner
If your receive connector does not match your fully qualified domain name (FQDN), you might get rejected messages with the #5.1.0 Address rejected.
Let's say your server's FQDN is: mail.mydomain.com
But when you telnet into your mail server port...
telnet mail.mydomain.com 25
... your server responds with: 220 mail.mydomain.local
You have a mismatch.
Using the Exchange Management Shell, we need to gather some information:
Get-ReceiveConnnector | fl name,banner
The response should be:
Name : Default Mail
Banner:
Name: Client Mail
Banner:
Name: Relay
Banner:
Continuing with the Exchange Management Shell, change the receive connector to match the FQDN with the following statement:
Set-ReceiveConnector "Default Mail" -Banner "220 mail.mydomain.com"
If you telnet back into your mail port, your server responds with: 220 mail.mydomain.com
