On the contrary, it says that you have configured a mailer loop,
or that you have two different mail services that use the same MTA
name (in Postfix parlance, the MTA name is the myhostname setting).

1) If the Postfix machine is a front-end for a backend server, then
Postfix must be configured as a mail gateway, and there should be
a transport_maps setting that routes mail for the domain to the
backend instead of sending it to the public internet address. See
https://www.postfix.org/STANDARD_CONFIGURATION_README.html#firewall

2) If your Postfix server is behind an inbound proxy server, then
you MUST specify the external address with main.cf:proxy_interfaces,
so that Postfix will know that it should not try to connect there.
https://www.postfix.org/postconf.5.html#proxy_interfaces

3) If you really have more than one mail server, then they must
have different MTA names (In Postfix parlance the MTA name is the
myhostname setting).
