You made a major update from version 2.2.x to 2.4.x in one hop. There have
been major changes in Postfix, especially with SSL/TLS, etc. You might want to
familiarize yourself with the updated documentation. Many of the original
statements in the main.cf file have changed.

I am not sure specifically what is causing your problem; however, I would
recommend that you start there, Posting the output of postconf -n might also
be enlightening.
