By any chance did you accidentally set $final_spam_destiny to D_PASS in
the config file? There's a line that does this, but it's commented out
by default.

Yes, discarding is not only controlled by $sa_kill_level_deflt by also by
$final_spam_desiny and whether a quarantine is configured or not, and if
quarantine is configured, then also $sa_quarantine_cutoff_level. This is not
a SpamAssassin question, it is an amavisd-new question.
This may help:

BTW, if you are really going to discard mail that scores 4.0 or higher, you
will loose legitimate mail. If anything, I would suggest accepting mail up
to a score of somewhere around 7.0 and marking mail between 4.0 and 7.0 as
***SPAM*** on the Subject: line.
Maybe something like this:
$final_spam_destiny = D_DISCARD;
$spam_quarantine_to = 'spam-quarantine';
$sa_tag_level_deflt = -999;
$sa_tag2_level_deflt = 4.0;
$sa_kill_level_deflt = 7.0;
$sa_spam_subject_tag = '***SPAM*** ';
$sa_quarantine_cutoff_level = 14;
Then set up a cron job to delete items in the quarantine that are older than
60 days or something.
If by 'discard' you mean quarantine, then it is still not a good idea to
quarantine at such a low level. You are more likely to find ham in the
quarantine which means you will spend more time searching for items in the
quarantine which ends up being counterproductive.
