It's seem there is a misconfiguration on the other side:
ducrot@poup:~$ dig tgngu.tyumen.ru mx

Thus, the "main" priority for the mx is mail.tgngu.tyumen.ru.
But:

ducrot@poup:~$ nslookup mail.tgngu.tyumen.ru
Server:  localhost.localdomain
Address:  127.0.0.1

Non-authoritative answer:
Name:    server.tgngu.tyumen.ru
Address:  194.67.48.89
Aliases:  mail.tgngu.tyumen.ru

and also their mailer is a cname to server.tgngu.tyumen.ru.
You can check anywhere that this is a bad thing. (see rfc 821,
sec. 3.7 for example).
