Hmm, I am not sure. The directions are here:

    https://support.office.com/en-us/article/Create-DNS-records-for-Office-365-at-any-DNS-hosting-provider-7b7b075d-79f9-4e37-8a9e-fb60c1d95166?ui=en-US&rs=en-US&ad=US

If am supposed to add a zone apex, how should I do it?Here is my zone:

    dn: dc=noa.gr,ou=dns1,dc=noa,dc=gr
    objectClass: dNSDomain2
    objectClass: domainRelatedObject
    dc: noa.gr
    associatedDomain: noa.gr
    nSRecord: vdns.noa.gr
    nSRecord: dns2.noa.gr
    nSRecord: sns0.grnet.gr
    nSRecord: sns1.grnet.gr
    mXRecord: 20 mailgw1.noa.gr
    mXRecord: 10 mailgw3.noa.gr
    sOARecord: vdns.noa.gr sysadmin at noa.gr 2017011805 7200 180 1209600 3600

I tried to add a tXTRecord to the zone:

    dn: dc=noa.gr,ou=dns1,dc=noa,dc=gr
    objectClass: dNSDomain2
    objectClass: domainRelatedObject
    dc: noa.gr
    associatedDomain: noa.gr
    nSRecord: vdns.noa.gr
    nSRecord: dns2.noa.gr
    nSRecord: sns0.grnet.gr
    nSRecord: sns1.grnet.gr
    mXRecord: 20 mailgw1.noa.gr
    mXRecord: 10 mailgw3.noa.gr
    sOARecord: vdns.noa.gr sysadmin at noa.gr 2017011805 7200 180 1209600 3600
    tXTRecord: "MS=ms14959969"

but it doesn't seem to be used by pdns:

    # dig noa.gr ANY @localhost
