OOF external not delivered

 Issue:

Although out of office is set to internal and external it is not sent to external emails.

Reasons:

Smart host issue, that blocks the OOF message.

Solution 

Created new send connector with the mx record:
>New-SendConnector -Name "to Internet" -Usage "Internet" -SourceTransportServers "EX01-2016" -AddressSpaces ("SMTP:*;1") -IsScopedConnector $False -UseExternalDNSServersEnabled $false 

Then through ECP > Mail Flow > Send Connectors 
Deactivated the smart host send connector and activated the new MX record connector.

Made sure mail flow works and tested OOF, it worked.

Other information: 

- Checked the setting for OOF by 
             Get-RemoteDomain | fl DomainName,AllowedOOFType,AutoReplyEnabled,AutoForwardEnabled
      Get-MailboxAutoReplyConfiguration -Identity "mailbox" | fl
      Get-CASMailbox -Identity <User> | fl EmailAddresses, Ews*
      Get-OrganizationConfig | fl Ews*
>> All configured correct 
- Checked EWS virtual directories >> configured correct 
- Found nothing in queue viewer nothing in get message tracking log 
- Made sure External emails sent and received correctly.
