I seem to be missing a couple of messages in this thread but I upgraded my
laptop (I use it as a test system as well) to Sierra over the weekend and
am getting normal logging without doing anything special. My Postfix is in
/usr/local (I moved completely away from the Apple directories for the
server stuff I do).
Postfix (I'm still on 3.1.1) ran as previously built (no need to re-make
under Sierra although I have tested that it builds OK) (in fact all the
server software I now run runs as previously built).
So maybe the question is what did you (Viktor) do that is causing the
different logging format? Did you upgrade from El Capitan or is it a fresh
install? It looks like yours are going through Apple's new (and IMHO not
as good) log facility rather than syslog (that's the same format I see for
TimeMachine log messages extracted from the new log facility; e.g.
2017-01-01 06:18:18.094145-0600 localhost backupd[13915]: (TimeMachine)
[com.apple.TimeMachine.TMLogInfo] Backup completed successfully.

Yes. What did you do to get real syslog messages with MacOS/X Sierra?
I get output similar to:
2017-01-03 10:11:13.946120-0500 localhost smtpd[7301]:
(libpostfix-util.dylib) disconnect from localhost[127.0.0.1] ehlo=1
starttls=0/1 commands=1/2
In which the "postfix/" syslog_name is nowhere in sight. Makes multi-instance
logging rather opaque, and breaks the usual way to distinguish submission
logging
from port 25 logging, ...
