You can partially mitigate it by making sure DMARC, DKIM, and SPF are configured right. There are tools online you can use to verify they're setup right, don't remember which sites though.

No it doesn’t. “-all” would mean that. What “~all” means is that it merely suggests that the mail might be invalid.
Or, to quote RFC 7208:
A "softfail" result ought to be treated as somewhere between "fail" and "neutral"/"none". The ADMD believes the host is not authorized but is not willing to make a strong policy statement. Receiving software SHOULD NOT reject the message based solely on this result, but MAY subject the message to closer scrutiny than normal.
The ADMD wants to discourage the use of this host and thus desires limited feedback when a "softfail" result occurs. For example, the recipient's MUA could highlight the "softfail" status, or the receiving MTA could give the sender a message using greylisting [RFC6647], with a note the first time the message is received, but accept it on a later attempt based on receiver policy.

#6Mentions, but does not cover, DANE and TLSA. It does cover the stupider alternative, MTA-STS, which is basically DANE for people who are politically against DNSSEC.

If, by “self-host” you mean “hosted by the cheapest VPS I could find, using an IP address range from the wrong side of the metaphorical rail road tracks”, then yes. If by “self-host” you mean “hosted by myself in a server rack in my house, possibly using a VPN to a respected IP connectivity provider”, then no.

I have used mxtoolbox.com in the past. However, I don't know how reputed they are.
Note that the 'big mail providers' won't accept your mails even after you apply every known trick in the book. This is especially true for the two biggest ones that provide free services and hosted services on customers domains.
