Summary: The DANE domain count is now 2,351,764 (up from 2,312,209 last month).
The number of domains that return DNSSEC-validated replies in response to MX queries is 13,221,772 (up from 12,951,015 last month). Thus DANE TLSA is deployed on ~17.78% of domains with DNSSEC.
Please be mindful of the upcoming Let's Encrypt Issuer CA switch from X3/X4 to R3/R4 and E1/E2. See:

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, .FR, .INFO, .IS, .LI, .NL, .NU, .ORG and .SE. More data sources of ccTLD signed delegations welcome.
As of today I count 2,351,764 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 .no/.cz/.de/.eu/.be. 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).

There are 6,721 (6,457 last month) unique zones 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 11,089 (9,296 last month). These cover 11,288 (10,622 last month) distinct MX hosts (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 409 (this is my ad-hoc criterion for a domain being a large-enough actively used email domain). Of these, 257 are in recent (last 90 days of) reports (see [2] below my signature).
Of the ~2.35 million domains, 13,189 (13,253 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 817 (771 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.
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 1491 (1431 last month). The top 15 name server operators with problem domains are:

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.
Seven of the domains all whose nameservers have broken denial of existence appear in the last 120 days of Google transparency reports:
