It could be that theanti-spam daemon announces a LOWER size limit in
the EHLO greeting:

$ telnet postamt 25
Trying 141.42.206.36...
Connected to postamt.charite.de.
Escape character is '^]'.
220 postamt.charite.de ESMTP Postfix
EHLO foo
250-postamt.charite.de
250-PIPELINING
250-SIZE 262144000
         ^^^^^^^^^
         
and thus Postfix won't even try to send

> When I remove the message_size_limit parameter from main.cf and
> reload postfix, all mail that was not delivered does get delivered -

That makes no sense, since the limit is 

$ postconf -d message_size_limit
message_size_limit = 10240000

Show postconf -n output and your master.cf
