AFAIK, that is not a valid value for timezone, unless someone has stuck a
file by that name into your zoneinfo database directory (which I think is
standard practice on some distros though by no means all).  If so, it
would mean whatever the file said, which would very likely not be UTC.

Evidently that grep has little to do with your actual configuration
source.  This would likely be informative as to where "localtime"
is coming from:

        select * from pg_settings where name = 'TimeZone';
