The only way that "postfix start" can change main.cf (via create-missing)
is for the environment passed by postfix(1) to postfix-script and hence
to post-install to (miraculously) differ from the main.cf settings that
post-install computes via "postconf -h". However, even in that case,
empty values should not be possible, because the sanity check at the
top of post-install should bail out early.

I see no code path that matches the reported symptoms, the installation
or run-time environment is likely damaged.

If my response solves your problem, the best way to thank me is to not
send an "it worked, thanks" follow-up. If you must respond, please put
"It worked, thanks" in the "Subject" so I can delete these quickly.
