🐞 [Bug]: Some Nodes Over MQTT Cannot Be DM'd in recent iOS app builds

[Xaositek]

Firmware Version

2.5.18

What did you do?

I noticed with current version from TestFlight that certain (see images) nodes cannot be DM'd over MQTT despite being only a single hop away while other nodes multiple hops away can be DM'd. This is only with new app builds, older versions actually do successfully DM nodes over MQTT so this appears to be an artificial limitation or a limitation that doesn't 100% work/not work as expected.

Expected Behavior

Here is the CMRG ECHO on iOS version 2.5.14 (1327) - successfully DM'd over MQTT

Current Behavior

Here is the same node with the same conditions with version 2.5.15 (1337) - no direct message available, but you can see that channels do reach it and it responds.

Participation

• I am willing to submit a pull request for this issue.

Additional comments

Adding an example of another bot that is more hops away and DM is available which doesn't make sense.

Possibly linked to issue #799 ?

One note also - this is a private broker MQTT server, this is not the public MQTT server
