To update my own post, in the meantime Uriports published a blog post about the 
reoccurring problem of temperrors in DMARC reports sent by Microsoft: 
https://www.uriports.com/blog/outlook-com-dkim-temperror-in-dmarc-reports/ 
According to their statistics 0,6% of all the DMARC reports which they receive 
from Hotmail / Outlook contain a DKIM result of "temperror". That's 600 times 
(or 60000%) more than the average of other providers. Uriports runs a DMARC 
monitoring service and receives reports from many different companies, so the 
issue does not seem to be restricted to our DNS servers. They claim: "The 
primary cause is Microsoft’s ongoing DNS resolution issues, which the company 
is actively working to resolve." I'm unsure if that's true and and when 
Microsoft started working on those DNS resolution issues, as I mentioned this 
problem on this list already in the beginning of 2023 and it is still ongoing.
