You are right, the configuration seems ok. A good checking tool is
IntoDNS:
https://intodns.com/dyne.org
They mention the same, SOA EXPIRE value is too low.

By now it comes apparent that timeouts from the dns servers are the
problem:

$ dig tupac2.dyne.org

$ dig tupac2.dyne.org

Can the short SOA EXPIRE be the cause?
