Your registrar is saying that your domain is DNSSEC-signed, but your DNS server isn't actually signing anything. This means your domain name doesn't work at all. (Not just for getting a certificate, but in general.) You need to fix your DNS server to actually sign the records, or configure your registrar to say that the domain isn't DNSSEC-signed.

Thanks for your clarification, I asked my registrar to remove the DNSSEC and they just removed it now. Is that the correct action to remove the DNSSEC?

Well, your domain would be more secure if it had working DNSSEC instead, but yes if DNSSEC is removed that your domain name should start working.
