In the Postfix "main.cf" file, the last entry wins. This is one of the
reasons to use "postconf -n" and NOT what you think the correct entry
is. The output of "postconf -n" shows what Postfix sees.

To sum it up:

Provide output from the postfinger tool. This can be found at
http://ftp.wl0.org/SOURCES/postfinger.

If the problem is SASL related, consider including the output from the
saslfinger tool. This can be found at
http://postfix.state-of-mind.de/patrick.koetter/saslfinger/.

If the problem is about too much mail in the queue, consider including
output from the qshape tool, as described in the QSHAPE_README file.

If the problem is protocol related (connections time out, or an SMTP
server complains about syntax errors etc.) consider recording a session
with tcpdump, as described in the DEBUG_README document.
