Incomplete sync of Exchange Message Moderation settings to Office 365 / Exchange Online
Reading here the msExchBypassModerationLink attributed has been supported by AADConnect since version 1.1.524.0
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/active-directory/hybrid/reference-connect-sync-attributes-synchronized
So it appears to be a bug where Azure AD isn't anchoring the attribute to only be controlled by on-premises.
I'm not at home currently so I cannot check this in my lab, however according to the documentation, the corresponding AD attributes should be synchronized to Exchange Online (https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/active-directory/hybrid/reference-connect-sync-attributes-synchronized).
Two things come to mind: check whether there are modifications made to the default sync rules, and check whether the users/groups that are configured as moderators are in the scope of sync.
Like Vasil says, check the attributes are in the scope of sync. They should be but maybe someone has edited the synchronisation rules.
The only other thing I might ask is what is the version of the directory synchronisation tool? Having a quick look I cannot see a bug for moderation attributes but if it is old it would make sense to update it.

I was on 1.1.880 from August. I just installed 1.2.68 and will test again.
1.1.880 isn't particularly old so I don't think it will be that. I'll double check in my lab tomorrow for you.

I have checked in my lab and this is my experience. If I enabled moderation on a synchronised mail enabled distribution list, the updates are shown in the export in the Synchronisation Service Manager. Please check the attached pictures and make the changes in your environment to see if AADConnect is picking up the change and synchronising it.
You can see I made two changes, one to enable moderation and another to change moderation notifications - both are picked up by AADConnect and synchronised over.
Can you check this and report back your findings for synchronisation flow?
