The ISP in question is the largest Danish ISP, TDC, of which I am also a
customer. They are generally quite good at having consistent forward
and reverse DNS records.
I expect that if the OP points out the missing A record for
"0xbcb75b12.cpe.ge-1-1-0-1112.hcnqu2.customer.tele.dk." in a mail to
"hostmaster at tele dot dk", then they will fix it. And that will
probably solve the problem, regardless of the HELO name.
Alternatively, since I suspect from the reverse DNS name that the OP's
connection is a "Pro" grade ADSL product, he can probably get TDC to set
the reverse DNS of his IP address to his own name ("soapnut.dk.") simply
by asking TDC at that same mail address.
