That's because your record is invalid. Try entering it without the leading 5: instead - alt1.aspmx.l.google.com. If you want to set the priority values you need to use the Advanced interface instead.

And when/if you do add the MX records from the expert interface, drop the colon (:) character. You should enter priority followed by a whitespace followed by the MX hostname, for example:

5 http://aspmx.l.google.com.
