I wouldn't think so, why should it be slow to look up its own name?

Ah, that should be fixed.

AFAIK that can be the case only if the same message is being sent to
both the slow and a failing recipient, and the rejecting server is
intentionally delaying its rejection.

RTFM primary_hostname and qualify_domain. You need to set
primary_hostname to a valid FQDN that, when its address is looked up
in the DNS, will yield the public IP address connections from your
server come from. Since this name probably won't be the same as your
email domain name, you'll probably also need to set qualify_domain.
