The system failed to complete validation of “domain-name”’s “DKIM” because of an error: (XID tu6dbt) DNS query (default._domainkey.domain-name/TXT) timeout!

This may be a hard one to troubleshoot without seeing the actual domain name as we'll likely need to check the DNS settings to find out what the issue is. Are you able to run this command against the domain in question?

Code:
dig txt default._domainkey.domain.com
You'll just need to replace the "domain.com" portion of that with your domain to see if that default DKIM record is in place. If so, it should give you the key output as an answer. If not, it's possible the DKIM record is not setup properly.
