I definitely suggest to look into RFC 7672 SMTP-DANE instead of MTA-STS. 
SMTP-DANE is more secure than MTA-STS, and in my "samples" also more widely 
adopted than MTA-STS. In my view, MTA-STS is only interesting if you do not 
want to adopt DNSSEC.
Postfix supports DANE out of the box, but you have to use a DNSSEC aware 
resolver and configure appropriately.

Wouldn't setting smtpd_tls_security_level=encrypt have the same desired effect 
of what MTA-STS is trying to solve?
Granted you would be preventing other MTA's from delivering if they aren't 
using STARTTLS.
Or is there more going on with MTA-STS then what I understand?
