Postfix needs to connect to the *client* socket not the *master* socket.
At the end it should look like this:

    client:
      path: /var/spool/postfix/private/auth
      mode: 432
      user: postfix
      group: postfix

Ahhh, didnt understand that i the documentation, but now i makes sense ;)

Is the folowing an real error?

Aug  9 14:22:55 mail02 postfix/smtpd[1969]: SSL_accept error from
mail-ew0-f224.google.com[209.85.219.224]: -1
Aug  9 14:22:55 mail02 postfix/smtpd[1855]: connect from
bzq-79-182-42-58.red.bezeqint.net[79.182.42.58]
Aug  9 14:22:55 mail02 postfix/smtpd[1969]: lost connection after CONNECT
from mail-ew0-f224.google.com[209.85.219.224]

Because when i try to send a mail to this server from my other working mail
server, different setup says:

-Queue ID- --Size-- ----Arrival Time---- -Sender/Recipient-------

(conversation with mail02.x.x[x.x.x.x] timed out while receiving the initial
server greeting)
