The title of RFC7505 is "A "Null MX" No Service Resource Record for
Domains That ***Accept No Mail***" (emphasis added).  Assuming that a
domain that contains a null MX record will not send mail seems doomed to
false positives.

Domains that do not *send* mail can indicate that with an all-deny SPF
record.

Unless you set policy for one of the too-big-to-ignore mail service
providers, I have doubts you'll have much success in making this opinion
stick.  But I've been known to be wrong before, so have at that
windmill.
