The mail was bounced after Postfix received a temporary error for
several days. You didn't set delay_warning_time, so no delay warning
was issued:

The default is:
# postconf -d delay_warning_time
delay_warning_time = 0h

> maps_rbl_domains = relays.ordb.org, sbl-xbl.spamhaus.org, dnsbl.sorbs.net
Deprectaed syntax, relays.ordb.org is *DEAD*

> unknown_local_recipient_reject_code = 450
Why? Use 550!

> relay_domains = $mydestination
Don't list mydestination as relay_domains!

> smtpd_delay_reject = yes
Default anyway.

> smtpd_sender_restrictions = permit_mynetworks, permit_sasl_authenticated
Not needed (sice you have it in smtpd_recipient_restrictions)
