MX records are one of the few records that can contain name compression. I think you'll find you're looking at the labels for "outlook-com.olc.protection" followed by a pointer to "outlook.com." earlier in the message.

EDIT: Yep, wireshark shows the byte sequence c00c following "protection". c00c is a compression pointer to "outlook.com." in the question section of the message.
