I just tried,

smtpd_client_restrictions = permit_mynetworks, check_client_access 
hash:/etc/postfix/mydomain_rules
smtpd_helo_restrictions = permit_mynetworks,  check_helo_access 
hash:/etc/postfix/mydomain_rules

(without the warn_if_reject)

and received this from the MX from outside the network,

220 nract1.cenpac.net.nr GATEWAY MX  - We don't authorise this 
mailserver for the transport of unsolicited and/or bulk email.
helo jon.cenpac.net.nr
250 nract1.cenpac.net.nr
mail from:postmaster at cenpac.net.nr
250 Ok
rcpt to:jleeman at cenpac.net.nr
554 <jon.cenpac.net.nr>: Helo command rejected: Rejected. You are not me
