email SPF record issue

I've been "enjoying" configuring email and DNS for the past year and a half. I thought I had things pretty well sorted out, but no. Another issue. I have a setup whereby email is hosted by Exchange:
Code:>host cwa4502.org
cwa4502.org has address 172.67.175.38
cwa4502.org mail is handled by 0 cwa4502-org.mail.protection.outlook.com.There is another subdomain computer, members.cwa4502.org, at a different location with IP 74.218.88.254. When I try to send an email from a user on members.cwa4502.org to my gmail account I get the following:
Code: ----- The following addresses had permanent fatal errors -----
<mercureytech@gmail.com>
(reason: 550-5.7.26 This mail has been blocked because the sender is unauthenticated.)

----- Transcript of session follows -----
... while talking to gmail-smtp-in.l.google.com.:
>>> DATA
<<< 550-5.7.26 This mail has been blocked because the sender is unauthenticated.
<<< 550-5.7.26 Gmail requires all senders to authenticate with either SPF or DKIM.
<<< 550-5.7.26
<<< 550-5.7.26 Authentication results:
<<< 550-5.7.26 DKIM = did not pass
<<< 550-5.7.26 SPF [cwa4502.org] with ip: [74.218.88.254] = did not passHowever, the SPF record for cwa4502.org is:
Code:v=spf1 include:spf.protection.outlook.com include:members.cwa4502.org -allAnd the IP for members.cwa4502.org is 74.218.88.254, so why did it not pass?
