On the Lightning for Outlook, I do have a record creation button component. Clicking on it gets the custom record type selection. Based on what we choose(radio button), force:createRecord event fires.

Ltng.cmp

<aura:iteration items="{!v.RTypeList}" var="rType"> 
   <span class="slds-radio">
        <input type="radio" aura:id = "radioId"  id="{!rType}" name="options" value="{!rType}" />
        <label class="slds-radio__label" for="{!rType}">
           <span class="slds-radio--faux"></span>
           <span class="slds-form-element__label">{!rType}</span>
        </label>
       </span>
  </aura:iteration>

NOTE: RTypeList contains all the record type labels(using controller class).

Cmp.Js

var rTypeLabel= document.querySelector('input[name="options"]:checked').value;
    var action = component.get("c.getRTypeId");

    action.setParams({
        "rTypeLabel": rTypeLabel
    });

    action.setCallback(this, function(response) {
    var state = response.getState();
    if (state === "SUCCESS") {
            var createRecordEvent = $A.get("e.force:createRecord");
            var RTID  = response.getReturnValue();
            createRecordEvent.setParams({
                "entityApiName": 'Account',
                "recordTypeId": RTID  
            });
            createRecordEvent.fire();

        } else if (state === "ERROR") {
           alert("ERROR! Please contact support!");
        }
     });
    $A.enqueueAction(action);

Controller.apxc

@AuraEnabled
public static Id getRTypeId(String rTypeLabel){
    System.debug('From Class: ' +rTypeLabel);
    if(rTypeLabel!= ''){
        Id rtypeid = Schema.SObjectType.Account.getRecordTypeInfosByName().get(recordTypeLabel).getRecordTypeId();        
        return rtypeid ;
    }
    return null;
}

Every time I run this component on an LightningAPP (to preview), debug log returns me the correct record type label. But when I run this same component on the "Lightning for Outlook", I get the log as "From Class: on" thus throwing me the error. Where I am doing wrong?

Well, after spending few extra hours than usual, I was able to fix it. The problem with my code lies within the document.querySelector. As per my <input type="radio" implementation, I do not need value, rather I need to query id. Like this:

var rTypeLabel= document.querySelector('input[name="options"]:checked').id

But hey, when I query 'value' instead of 'id', it worked well on Google Chrome(verified console) and I got the state as SUCCESS. But on the Internet Explorer and the Lightning For Outlook plugin, it didn't worked. So my trial-and-error with id worked on both. Hope someone who's stuck with this kind of issue find my post helpful.
