Hard to tell with so little info. But I will say this ...
That progression is neither in the key of D nor does it contain any dominant chords. Dom. chords are 7th chords, short for dom.7 (as in F#7). As written it's just 3 major chords - E, G and F#. *Writing Emaj is the same thing as writing 'E'. As you have it, I like E minor penta, E blues and even E dorian (E F# G A B C# D) or F# phryg (which is the same as E dorian) and the F# phryg/dom will work too.

Very cool progression indeed. I tried with the E minor scale and there sure are some clashes but I liked it. After all the progression is "clashy" by nature, since it does not stick to a key.
What do others think? I threw in my quick backing in case anyone wants to have a go at it

It bends rules but doesn't really break them. It's basically most of what's called a 'turn-a-round' - a progression that 'gets back to E'. If there was an F major chord in there between the F# and the E it would be a really standard progression in a lot of jazz, R&B, blues and soul music, *especially if you made them all dom.7th chords.
E minor, E dorian, E minor penta, E blues all work pretty well. Because it's relatively chromatic (chords moving by one fret and/or closely) and parallel (same shape/quality) you have a lot of leeway and options with how you can improvise over it.
