Hello Dirk,
mtr or downloading Ubuntu is not a valid task to check your network connectivity. Your server may has a connection speed of 1 GBit/s but that not the traffic you can push the whole time. It depends on multiple factors.
For example: I've a dedicated server in the netherlands with 1 GBit/s and my home connection in Germany with 50 MBit/s. Most of the time I can download with full speed from my server, but every day between 16:00 and 24:00 o'Clock the speed drops down to 100 kbyte/s. Why? The peering between Level 3 and my ISP is out of capacity.
If you add Tor circuits there are even more bottlenecks. You wrote:
"I pinned the ExitNode in my Client and downloaded an Ubuntu image. Download was between 800 kbyte/s and 1 Mbyte/s. Not great"
My absolute highest speed over Tor was 7 MByte/s. So at least all 3 servers (Exit, Middle and Guard) had hight connections speeds. A speed of 2-3 MByte/s is normal for me.
Long story short: Be happy that you run exit relays and don't care that much about your traffic. Also think about network diversity.

O.k. I did install and config pdns. Lets see. I hope it helps.
Please be cautious when running an exit on debug loglevel - especially if you decide to paste your logs on a public mailing list.
Sure - nothing in there which is a problem. :-) Thanks again for helping.
