You have no evidence that Postfix treats inet:82.113.142.39:12345
as a file name.  

The text "No such file or directory" means the error code was ENOENT,
and in my experience some OSes will return ENOENT for non-file errors.

Real evidence would be in the form of strace (or equivalent) output
that shows Postfix uses an AF_UNIX (AF_LOCAL) socket.

I suspect that the TCP connection is failing due to SELINUX or equivalent.
