Hi,
 

The normal dig command without any option should give the output which you are getting.

Regarding MX record, You might have set to MX record. Please check your config.

Have Fun!

By default dig will not give you information of MX record.

You need to specify in query as you did.

or

dig -t mx yourdomain.com

Remember MX blongs to domain not host.
