THIS IS NORMAL. As I said previously, type the MAIL FROM, RCPT TO, and
DATA commands, send a couple of ilnes, THEN wait and time the timeout.
How about those logs showing a complete mail 'life cycle'?

No, it's not normal. When you telnet to a postfix smtpd,
postfix will sit there patiently for $smtpd_timeout before it
disconnects if you don't type anything.
The described behavior suggests smtpd_timeout is set for 4s,
but that parameter isn't in the postconf or master.cf shown to
the list.
I don't think there's anything else we can do for the OP.
