  • The BIND DNS server has already been deprecated and removed from Plesk for Windows.
    If a Plesk for Windows server is still using BIND, the upgrade to Plesk Obsidian 18.0.70 will be unavailable until the administrator switches the DNS server to Microsoft DNS. We strongly recommend transitioning to Microsoft DNS within the next 6 weeks, before the Plesk 18.0.70 release.
  • The Horde component is removed from Plesk Installer. We recommend switching to another webmail software supported in Plesk.

See the error message regarding the TXT record: You'll need to correct the ACME TXT record for the certificate in your nameserver. The correct TXT record can be seen in the SSL section of the "websites & domains" menu.
 
When you do not use the built-in nameserver in your host, your host cannot update the TXT record for your SSL wildcards. In that case you must update their TXT records manually every three months. As that has not been done, SSL fails to renew, because the TXT record does not match the token that the Let's Encrypt trust center expects to validate domain ownership.
 
This is a big problem. Think you have 200 websites in Cloudflare... You have to do this manually every 89 days!
 
Can't be helped, validation for wildcard domains requires the TXT record in DNS as you have to prove more control over the host than with just a single domain.
Otherwise, with well-known only, you could generate a cert valid for subdomains outside of the scope belonging to you, so you have to prove that you could mess with their dns anyway as to enable you to get certs for any subdomain possible.
