×I ran into this problem today and found this solution (http://simplyian.com/2015/01/07/Hacking-GMail-to-use-custom-domains-for-free/) took me about 10 minutes to setup and works great!!
I’ve just written an updated and detailed guide for this. Hopefully it’ll be of use.

Recently I’ve started pointing all my domains’ MX records to Mailgun and setting up routes to Gmail. Saves having to fork out for G-Suite and I can finally get rid of my shared hosting, which I was only holding onto for the email hosting.
If you’ve changed your name servers to point to DO, this doesn’t work (as emails bypass the registrar in this case)
I’m also looking for a solution, suspect it will require adding an MX record in DO DNS settings and configuring your Droplet to handle and forward e.g. Postfix? I came across the following..

I would love to hear from anyone that’s configured it successfully – looking for the simplest possible solution :)

+1 for postfix. Here are is another excellent tutorials on the subject:

I’ve tried @simonhoye solution and it works excelent. I’d been struggling with Postfix following as many tutorials I could find but none was enough.
Also found the same solution here: http://dangeroustestlab.net/configuring-mailgun-dns-on-digital-ocean/
I'ts really simple, you have to try it!
