1-  /etc/postfix/main.cf: multi_instance_directories =3D /etc/postfix-dmz
2- remove multi_instance_wrapper & multi_instance_directories from
/etc/postfix-dmz/main.cf
3- (optional) set multi_instance_name in both, to different names

All this is described/explained at
https://www.postfix.org/MULTI_INSTANCE_README.html#params
