Therefore it seems the transport is not using the local(8) delivery
agent and local aliases(5) don't apply. Proper confirmation requires
logs.
In my original response I explained that aliases(5) processing
happens only when the "mailer triple" (address, transport, nexthop)
for a recipient uses a transport whose delivery agent is local(8)
(on most Postfix systems there is only one such transport and it
is called "local", so we tend to informally identify the transport
name with the delivery agent).

These are only used by the local(8) delivery agent as documented.
Even in Sendmail aliases(5) are only applied to addresses that
resolve to the local mailer. Dim memories of ruleset 5 are not
yet fully suppressed.
If your host routes all mail to the mailhub, there is no aliases(5)
processing. Hence the reference to the null-client walk-through
in MULTI_INSTANCE_README.
You can either post logs and the contents of the transport table,
or solve the problem yourself based on the information provided.
