no, I was going to reply to your previous because I did not really
see your point and now I think that the answer is not the most
correct..
You said:

well, it should have immediately replied with a "550 relay not
permitted", or equivalent, and this should have not involved any
routers (except for checking the MAIL FROM:) as the source is
certainly not a host you relay from and myhostname.company.org is not
a local_domain (since you have NO local domains!) or a
relay_to_domain. So, why did your box try to route the email in the
first place?
