Well, the real Postfix uses /etc/postfix, as evidenced by the errors
logged by postdrop(1). Whatever is asking sendmail(1) and postdrop(1)
to use that other path is misconfigured.

If that's the way you want to continue to use Postfix, I'm afraid
you'll need to get support for any resulting issues from them.

Postfix is actually designed to be secure, and privileged programs
like postdrop(1) correctly don't trust random symlinks.

The behaviour of postdrop(1) is deliberate and correct.
