You can of course provide MX records of different priorities.

I think the difficult part is getting outbound MTAs to actually understand that a .onion domain shouldn't be looked up over DNS.

If you're running a local tor-compatible resolver they should be!

However according to RFC 7686 https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7686: "Applications that do not implement the Tor protocol SHOULD generate an error upon the use of .onion and SHOULD NOT perform a DNS lookup"
