The problem here is not Postfix, it is the mail user agent and the
(carbon-based) mail user.

Users of yyy.com, when replying to mail that was sent to their xxx.com
address, must ensure that the reply does not include their old xxx.com
address in the From, To, or CC list.

For those few who still use a command-line mail client, mutt (and
neomutt) can handle this for them, when properly configured.  I have no
clue how to get other MUAs, such as Thunderbird, or (ugh!) Gmail, to do
that automatically, or if they even can.

In the absence of a MUA that is not, or cannot be, configured to do it
automatically, it is the user's responsibility to adjust the recipient
lists appropriately.
