You already mentioned having different policies, so the possibilities
are numerous. Having the dedicated submission port allows me to easily
force encryption, force authentication (password, client certificates),
limit users to certain sender domains, add DKIM signatures, to name just
some examples. I can also flat out reject envelope senders foo@mydomain
on port 25, add DNS BL/WL checks, various milters, etc.

In my experience it is easier to configure (and understand) how your
Postfix instances are operating when inbound and outbound emails are
entering via separate ports.
