Postfix emits such error messages as below.

So I rebuilt, reinstalled and restared Postfix. Then error message
disappeared.
I checked commit log between b0e7b55a0e90 and b3468202994f, and found
following one.

initgroups(3): Fix return value on allocation failure
We must not return ENOMEM, but rather -1 with 'errno' set to
ENOMEM, as described in the manual page and as other implementations
are doing. A malloc() failure actually already sets ENOMEM for us.
Add comments indicating which function set 'errno' each time we
return.
While here, improve style and remove useless headers.

According to commit message, it is likely that the commit introduces
some incompatibility with initgroups(3) and that it causes error
messages of Postfix. And if it is correct, then __FreeBSD_version
should be bumped to force packages that use initgroups(3) to be
rebuilt.

I can confirm this issue. I've had to recompile audio/musicpd
and sysutils/bareos23-client to resolve it. (Also getting
the same Socket operation on non-socket in each case).
I can confirm as well with postfix, the krb5 port, nut, openldap26-server,
dovecot, and others that I cannot recall ATM.
Just for the record, lightdm is also affected by this very issue with
the same symptoms.
