Default for smtp_fallback_relay is $fallback_relay (default: empty). 
So unseting smtp_fallback_relay would do nothing.

postconf.5.html#smtp_fallback_relay

"The fallback relays must be SMTP destinations. Specify a domain, 
host, host:port, [host]:port, [address] or [address]:port; the form 
[host] turns off MX lookups. If you specify multiple SMTP 
destinations, Postfix will try them in the specified order."

A transport(5) is not part of the specification.

The only way I can think of to accomplish what you want is to use 
another instance as smtp_fallback_relay, and that instance have no 
relayhost set. There may be other ways.
