If the client sends "QUIT", either before "DATA", or after a rejected "DATA" command (no recipients), then Postfix quietly moves on, all the interesting log entries are already there (rejecting recipients, ...). If smtpd(8) logs a queue-id, but there are no further entries for that queue-id, either you have chroot-jail logging problems, or the client abandoned the transaction. The latter is not particularly unusual. -- Viktor. Disclaimer: off-list followups get on-list replies or get ignored. Please do not ignore the "Reply-To" header.
