After looking at your config snippets I'm not sure you have it set up
properly.

I usually set my config this way:

hostlist relay_from_hosts = 127.0.0.1 : \
    x.x.x.00/24

in acl_check_rcpt:

.
.
.

accept domains = local_domains
            endpass
            message = unknown user
            verify   = recipient

accept  domains = +relay_to_domains
             endpass
             message = unrouteable address
             verify = recipient

accept hosts = +relay_from_hosts

deny message = relay not permitted

Does yours look something like the above?

Your line 131 puzzles me.
