What is the answer for:

    postconf relayhost

If that is empty, then mail will be delivered via the MX record.

Another possibility is that you have parts of multiple Postfix
builds on the same machine, where different parts have a different
default path for the configuration directory.

For example, the postconf command could have a different configuration
directory pathanme than the Postfix binaries that actually handle mail.

To find out:

# postfix reload

This will log the Postfix version and configuration pathname
of the running Postfix instance.

# postconf -d config_directory
# postconf config_directory

These should both produce the same pathname as logged after
the "postfix reload" command.

And there are lots of other ways to mess up Postfix.
