That may be the exact source of the problem.

Greylisting implementations tend to expect retries to come from the same IP 
address as the original one. Some of us are still quite cross that the 
writers-of-RFCs did not care to make that a MUST requirement (see [1] for my 
grumble on that from a while back).

If you can’t guarantee that, please consider letting the retries run for a 
reasonable amount of time, at least a few days.

Some of us have bent over backwards to compensate for those failures by 
introducing mechanisms to whitelist hosts that appear in known sites’ SPF 
records and a few other tricks (see [2]].
