It is not necessary to CHROOT Postfix for use with MailScanner. I do not
run Postfix CHROOTed. I currently use the ms-milter method for
integrating MailScanner with Postfix, but for years I used the method
described at <https://www.mailscanner.info/postfix/>, but without
CHROOTing Postfix with no problems.

Is MailScanner scanning your mails at all?

If so, your issue is not with Postfix/MailScanner integration.
