The smtp(8) delivery agent is chrooted.

Not necessarily. They may have already opened all the files they need and
loaded all the libraries they need before they chroot. Postfix processes
chroot themselves, after they initialize and just before they drop privs,
they are not started via fork/exec already in the chroot jail. For that,
you need to install and run all of Postfix in the jail.
