You can use the access map lookup result to specify the RFC 5321
SMTP reply code (and the RFC 3463 enhanced status code).

REJECT ACTIONS
Postfix version 2.3 and later support enhanced status codes as defined
in RFC 3463. When no code is specified at the beginning of the text
below, Postfix inserts a default enhanced status code of "5.7.1" in the
case of reject actions, and "4.7.1" in the case of defer actions. See
"ENHANCED STATUS CODES" below.
4NN text
5NN text
Reject the address etc. that matches the pattern, and respond
with the numerical three-digit code and text. 4NN means "try
again later", while 5NN means "do not try again".
The reply code "421" causes Postfix to disconnect immediately
(Postfix version 2.3 and later).
