Fix & Workaround

Use a fixed width on table cells instead of max-width.

Before

<div style="max-width: 600px; margin: 0 auto;">
  Content here
</div>

After

<!--[if mso]>
<table role="presentation" width="600" cellpadding="0"
  cellspacing="0" border="0" align="center"><tr><td>
<![endif]-->
<div style="max-width: 600px; margin: 0 auto;">
  Content here
</div>
<!--[if mso]>
</td></tr></table>
<![endif]-->
