You could enable LMTP on the remote server, and deliver to that. I
don't know how secure that is: do postfix and dovecot both support
lmtp over tls, and does that even matter when hardware is in the same
rack and has dedicated networking?

Or you could install an MTA on the remote server which delivers to
dovecot, and configure postfix to relay the mail to that mta.
