It says it will use the addr from inet_interfaces by default. But The whole smtp_bind_address is just for IPv4. There is a separate smtp_bind_address6 for IPv6. And your issue was with IPv6. The only thing that is not entirely clear in the Note1 is if the value from inet_interface is used only when smtp_bind_address is not set, or it always overrides its value.
