I would simply add MX records:

domain.com mail is sent to the Very-High priority mail server
tld.whatever.com
Remove any mail.domain.com A records and any MX records pointing to
mail.domain.com. Only have MX records that point to the other server's
domain. They should of course have proper A and MX records for the
domain you're pointing at. If they setup mail.yourdomain.com on their
server, then you should create an A record for mail.domain.com on your
DNS server pointing to that IP.
