As documented, smtpd_client*limit are not a traffic control tool.
Their purpose is to block run-away and confused software.
The recommended way to rate-limit clients in different ways is to
use a policy service (such as postfwd or policyd).
Another option is to use port 25 ONLY for MTA-to-MTA traffic, and
to use the submission port for authenticated clients. Then, you can
apply different Postfix settings for different ports.
