I’ve solved our problem. Turns out we were missing the virtual_alias_maps line 
in main.cf.
Once I added that, things started working much better.

To summarize, our current main.cf now contains the following lines:

relayhost = [smtp.stanford.edu]
local_transport = error:local delivery disabled
smtp_use_tls = yes
myhostname = seswsbackup.stanford.edu
myorigin = stanford.edu
virtual_alias_maps = hash:/etc/postfix/virtual

And in /etc/postfix/virtual, we have just:

root    manag...@sesmail.stanford.edu

Entries in maillog now show that r...@stanford.edu is being rewritten the way 
we want:

Mar  6 10:38:30 seswsbackup postfix/smtp[4085]: 4B6ECC0A7D: 
to=<manag...@sesmail.stanford.edu>, orig_to=<root>, 
relay=smtp.stanford.edu[171.64.13.8]:25, delay=0.32, 
delays=0.11/0.13/0.05/0.03, dsn=2.0.0, status=sent (250 2.0.0 Ok: queued as 
83D73341215)
