Summary: The DANE domain count is now 3,584,050 (c.f. 3,553,159 last month).
The number of domains that return DNSSEC-validated replies in response to MX queries is 19,130,407 (up from 18,845,352 last month). Thus DANE TLSA is deployed on ~18.73% of domains with DNSSEC. For more stats, see https://stats.dnssec-tools.org/. [ See the Credits[0] list below my signature. ]
As of today I count ~3.58 million domains with correct SMTP DANE TLSA records at every primary MX host that accepts connections[1]. As expected, the bulk of the DANE domains are hosted by the DNS/email hosting providers who've enabled DANE support for the customer domains they host. The top 20 MX host providers by domain count are below.

The real numbers are surely larger, because I don't have access to the full zone data for most ccTLDs, especially .br, .cz, .fr, .eu, .no, .be, .pl, .de and .uk. Speaking of countries, the IPv4 GeoIP distribution of DANE-enabled MX hosts shows the below top 20 countries (each unique IP address is counted, so multi-homed MX hosts are perhaps somewhat over-represented).

IPv6 is less common than IPv4 for MX hosts, and the top 20 countries by DANE MX host IPv6 GeoIP are:

There are 8,375 unique zones (8,342 last month) in which the underlying MX hosts are found. This counts each of the above providers as just one zone, so is a measure of the breadth of adoption in terms of organizations deploying DANE SMTP.
The number of published MX host TLSA RRsets found is 17,725 (17,639 last month). These cover 18,019 distinct MX hosts (17,929 last month, some MX hosts share the same TLSA records through CNAMEs).
The number of DANE domains that at some point were listed in Gmail's email transparency report is 702 (this is my ad-hoc criterion for a domain being a large-enough actively used email domain). Of these, 410 are in recent (last 90 days of) reports (see [2] below my signature).
Of the ~3.58 million DANE domains, 13,921 (14,518 last month) have "partial" TLSA records, that cover only a subset of the (secondary) MX hosts. While this protects traffic to some of the MX hosts, such domains are still vulnerable to the usual active attacks via the remaining MX hosts.
The number of domains with incorrect TLSA records or failure to offer STARTTLS (even though TLSA records are published) stands today at 2,442 (1,026 last month). Some of these have additional MX hosts that don't have broken TLSA records, so mail can still arrive via the remaining MX hosts. The affected domain counts for the top 10 problem MX hosts are:
1270 unit.nmugroup.com 86 beta.itcomputers.eu 44 relay-1.rws.nl 43 relay-2.rws.nl 35 mx2.synetcon.net 26 fsn1-c04.xemo-net.de 19 mx1.mdbraber.com 15 artemis.strebsjig.net 14 e-vps.hacktheplanet.nl 12 mail.blanketmail.de
To avoid email outages, please make sure to monitor the validity of your own TLSA records, and implement a reliable key rotation procedure. See:

After eliminating parked domains that do not accept email, the number of "real" email domains with bad DNSSEC support stands at 2,068 (1,408 last month). The top 10 name server operators with problem domains are:
This Month Last month ---------- ---------- 593 registrar-servers.com 591 registrar-servers.com 402 worldnic.com 302 worldnic.com 249 mijndomein.nl 245 mijndomein.nl 138 axc.nl 137 axc.nl 77 ebola.cz 79 ebola.cz 60 openprovider.nl 46 psi-japan.net 55 zihlmann.net 32 openprovider.nl 41 psi-japan.net 30 made-easy.ch 29 made-easy.ch 30 ispapi.net 26 ns01.nl 27 register.com
If anyone has good contacts at some of these providers, please encourage them to remediate not only the broken domains (I can send them a list), but also the root cause that makes the breakage possible.
Three of the domains all whose nameservers have broken denial of existence appear in the last 120 days of Google transparency reports:

[0] Credits: The coverage of DNSSEC domains continues to improve with ongoing data support from Paul Vixie of Farsight Security. Credits also due to ICANN for gTLD data via CZDS, and to the TLD registries for .CH, .COM, .DK, .FI, .FR, .INFO, .IS, .LI, .NL, .NU, .ORG and .SE. More data sources of ccTLD signed delegations welcome.
[1] Some domains deliberately include MX hosts that are always down, presumably as a hurdle to botnet SMTP code that gives up where real MTAs might persist. I am not a fan of this type of defence (it can also impose undue latency on legitimate email). However, provided the dead hosts still have TLSA records, (which don't need to match anything, just need to exist and be well-formed) there's no loss of security.
