That server is busted.
Maybe they installed a "security" "firewall" that mis-implements
SMTP PIPELINING.

Line 15: the server replies with "250 OK"; by the rules of SMTP,
this is the reply to "MAIL FROM".
Line 16: the server replies with "250 OK"; by the rules of SMTP,
this is the reply to "RCPT TO".
Line 17: the server replies with "550 No Such User Here". Clearly
the server has gotten out-of-sync with the client.
You can dumb down Postfix with
/etc/postfix/main.cf:
smtp_discard_ehlo_keyword_address_maps = hash:/etc/postfix/busted-servers
/etc/postfix/busted-servers:
74.50.1.185 pipelining
Do "postmap /etc/postfix/busted-servers" and "postfix reload".
