With strict helo checking by the receiver (which I think will
happen more and more), only machines actually named "ols.es"
can use that for HELO.

These also happen to be your MX records, and your SPF policy
is "mx ~all".

Once the "~all" is turned into "-all", only the MX records
would be able to use ols.es as HELO string.  The person controlling
those boxes will make sure this doesn't happen so I wonder what
the problem is?  (no, that is not a rhetoric question!)
