Postfix SMTP Relay Configuration Error

For the last day I was searching for solutions for this problem:

My postfix(+dovecot) configuration is fully able to receive e-mails and to serve them via IMAP but it fails at accepting them via SMTP (port 587).

I've already tried adding example.net to relay_domains, but it failed as it's already in the virtual mailbox domains database.

I've already tried to add mail.example.net to the virtual mailbox domains database.

For set-up I followed ArsTechnica's guide on setting up an e-mail server. Maybe one will recognize some elements. Note: I couldn't follow the guide exactly due to the lack of the postfix-dovecot bundle, but I think I've overcome potential issue as I can receive mail.
Note further: Sending to other adresses (like [email protected]) does work.
I can provide any files needed.

If needed: the postfix version 2.11.3

Please note: example.net is the replacement for my domain. It is valid, DNS is set up and valid TLS certificates are installed.

May  3 16:29:09 raspberrysyncserver postfix/smtpd[30395]: Trusted TLS connection established from MyComputer[192.168.2.150]: TLSv1.2 with cipher ECDHE-RSA-AES128-GCM-SHA256 (128/128 bits)
May  3 16:29:11 raspberrysyncserver postfix/smtpd[30395]: NOQUEUE: reject: RCPT from MyComputer[192.168.2.150]: 554 5.7.1 <[email protected]>: Relay access denied; from=<[email protected]> to=<[email protected]> proto=ESMTP helo=<[192.168.2.150]>
May  3 16:29:13 raspberrysyncserver postfix/smtpd[30395]: disconnect from MyComputer[192.168.2.150]

Solution 1:

The rejection was caused by smtpd_recipient_restrictions. Delete reject_unauth_destination from smtpd_recipient_restrictions should fix the problem.

You have already put reject_unauth_destination in smtpd_relay_restrictions, so no need to put it again in smtpd_recipient_restrictions.

Solution 2:

This is the tell-tale part of the log. Leads to masegaloeh's answer.
