I have a personal domain name email alias. I have linked this to a free Outlook account. I have set up the outlook account on TB using my personal domain alias. However, when I send an email using the alias, it appears in the recipient's inbox as coming from the outlook address and not my personal one.

The issue definitely isn't with Outlook or my personal domain, as it works when sending mail from my iPhone.

How do I fix this?

I assume your using some sort of outlook.com app. Because hotmail aliases do not work with Thunderbird or any other mail client that uses SMTP. They used to, but Microsoft made a decision to prevent that. All mail sent from their SMTP server now uses the details of the primary account. They actually remove what Thunderbird puts in there to substitute their own.
