It's pretty easy to setup your own domain if you don't mind it being someone else's server. I first used one called ZoHo, you just need a domain and a txt record to validate control as I recall and they'll do the rest for free. That was a number of years ago though so it may have changed since.

I'm using Migadu and it's been great so far. Not many bells and whistles but it's just email. Also allows you to control your own email address and not be locked into a different platform

Protonmail and Tutanota seem like your best bets, big providers like to sort others in the spam folder tho!

I wanted my own domain and a good integration with android but I didn't want to give my data to microsoft so I went with https://www.ovhcloud.com/en/emails/hosted-exchange/

Had no issues so far for the last 2-3 years.

It's cheaper than protonmail and you're not locked to a specific application since Exchange is well supported.
