pgfplots markers and lines on different layers
You can set clip mode=individual
: That way, the plot markers are placed directly on top of their respective lines, and later plots are drawn on top of earlier plots:

Similarly, if you add \pgfplotsset{set layers}
after \begin{tikzpicture}
and before \begin{axis}
, then give the mark layer=like plot
option, the markers are grouped with the plot they belong to. The result looks like
