OK, I changed mydestination thus:

# OLD ENTRY:: mydestination = $myhostname, localhost.$mydomain, localhost, $mydomain
mydestination = localhost, authorization.escapewire.local, $mydomain

and we have success!

Q - am I right to explicitly state the hostname since it is different than the hostname that would would be returned by gethostname(), ie, the machine's actual hostname is xx.domain.local, not xx.domain.com. Just checking to see if I have written this the best way.

Thanks for the help mouss!
