Both machines must accept all users in the domain.

Looks like the split domain is "local". If such a domain is "local"
to multiple hosts, you need to use an aliases table that lists all the
users:
aliases:
user1: us...@host1.example.com
user2: us...@host2.example.com
...
where host1 is listed in mydestination on host1, but not on host2,
and conversely host2 is in mydestination on host2, but on host1.
mydestination =
$myhostname,
example.com,
localhost.example.com,
localhost,
mysql:/etc/postfix/mysql-mydestination.cf
Alternatively, (and I what I actually recommend) you can make the
example.com domain be a virtual alias domain, and use virtual alias
maps to rewrite recipient addresses:
virtual:
us...@example.com us...@host1.example.com
us...@example.com us...@host2.example.com
Then on each host:
mydestination =
$myhostname,
localhost.example.com,
localhost,
# possibly instead the mysql domains become virtual
mysql:/etc/postfix/mysql-mydestination.cf
virtual_alias_domains =
example.com
# possibly the mysql domains become virtual
# mysql:/etc/postfix/mysql-virtual-domains.cf

Not generally a good idea as a global setting. What are you doing with that?

Generally, list the indexed first, those queries are faster.

No need to route through the smarthost if this is an MTA hosting mailboxes.
Only punt to the smarthost from null-client machines that punt everything.
