You're right.  I assumed the TLSA record was not a CNAME.  I guess you mean:

_25._tcp.my-domain.example. IN CNAME _25._tcp.MX-operator.example.

No, I meant that DANE-aware ESMTP clients first resolve the MX
indirection and look for TLSA records on the “target/MX” domain.

Indeed, e.g. this is how it works form ~1.2 million domains that are
MX-hosted by one.com MX hosts.  The hosted domain just needs to be
DNSSEC-signed and to point its MX records at the provider.  The DANE
TLSA RRs and all responsibility for managing them are on the MX host side:
