I've only ever used postfix, and my config is slightly different to
yours. However, I'm pretty sure postfix can do everything you need
without any other proxy. I've certainly done something similar, using
postfix as a gateway on a host, which relays to mail servers running on
VMs internally within the same host. But this isn't the forum for that
discussion.

In any case, it sounds as if you need to read up a bit on how mail
servers work. Port 587 is generally used to receive mail from clients.
Port 25 is for mail server to mail server communication. You can't
really change those ports. Well, 587, maybe, but not 25.
