Postfix logs: "timeout after xxx from host[address]" where xxx is a the last
protocol state. 

Where do your connections time out?

The Postfix SMTP sever by default times out after 300s (5 minutes).

Shorter timeouts may happen in firewalls, NATs, and so on.

Under overload, That time limit reduces to 10s, is enforced for
receiving an entire command. Also, under overload Postfix enforces
a minimum data rate (smtpd_min_data_rate).
