Well— I wish I had a definitive answer.

I have seen many issue with these new features introduced.

Note: iCloud Private Relay is not available in all countries or regions and is currently in beta in iOS 15, iPadOS 15, and macOS Monterey.

See: If a website or network doesn't work with Private Relay

You can try —Open mail app select Mail>Preferences>Privacy disable:

“Protect Mail Activity” /

“Hide IP address” /

“Block all remote content”

I don't know if this would have an effect are not—but there are many associated issues here as well, with all these new features.
