Situation:
Problem:
When both Hybrid connectors are enabled in O365, email sent to user@domain_a.com hits the transport rules in O365 then gets forwarded to Hybrid Connector to push all mail to on prem. Mail never reaches cloud mailbox of user@domain_a.com. If I disable the Hybrid Connector to on prem it works fine.
I would have thought incoming mail to O365 for domain_a.com would have went through transport rules, then looked for mailbox, then forward to connector, but this does not seem to be the case. Is there any way to properly incorporate the existing cloud only mailboxes & users (users not sync with AAD) into this Hybrid? MS told me no.

If i understand your situation correctly you do not have to do anything with the transport rules. Just remove te hybrid and keep your users from domain a and b seperated.
What you can do is
Set the mx for domain a to O365 EXO
Set the mx for domain b to EXOP
You can also create a Hybrid set all MX records to O365 EXO. After this migrate the onprem users to O365 EXO and use domain B as Suffix. Make sure the production cloud users have suffix A in O365 EXO.
I only have a few questions:
Do the production cloud users also have a onprem AD account in the same AD as the other users?
What is the meaning of the mhstravel.com domain.
What is the final goal you want to reach?
