You are missing an important detail.
On a busy server postscreen will run forever. It will never reconnect
to the new syslog server.
On a busy or idle server, smtpd runs only for a few minutes. The
next smtpd process will automatically to the new syslog server.
I am 99.99% certain that chroot is the problem here.
