The distinction is in the Postfix syslog_name prefixed to "smtpd".
postfix/submission/smtpd
vs.
postfix/smtpd

In multi-instance configurations each instance uses a prefix of
"postfix-$instance". The submission services then refine that
prefix as "postfix-$instance/submission".
Don't change the service name, change the prefix using instance
names in the "postfix" part and service variants in the optional
"/suffix". The prefix and optional suffix then get prepended to
the service name.
