I changed it. When I compose and send to an outside domain now, I get

OK: this implies that you don't have a port 587 submission service
running at all. To get one, you need an entry similar to this in your
master.cf file:
submission inet n - n - - smtpd
-o syslog_name=postfix/submit
-o smtpd_tls_security_level=encrypt
-o smtpd_sasl_auth_enable=yes
-o smtpd_recipient_restrictions=permit_sasl_authenticated,reject
-o milter_macro_daemon_name=ORIGINATING
You can see the currently active entries from master.cf with "postconf
-Mf" if you're running a reasonably modern version of Postfix.
This has gone far past the point where it is essential for you to heed
the recommendations in the last section of the DEBUG_README file (part
of the Postfix distribution) which are also sent to new subscribers to
this list, regarding how best to effectively seek assistance here. Noel
Jones suggested this to you almost 6 hours ago in a message which you
replied to, and it is advice which has not gone obsolete in that time.
