Add:
log_selector = +smtp_confirmation
to the main section of your config (or add +smtp_confirmation to
log_selector if already present). This gives you the confirmation
string from the remote SMTP server in your log-file, which gives you the
evidence that the other side _did_ accept the mail and here is the id
they gave you to prove it.

Also, see if it makes any difference if the SMTP Envelope Sender matches
the authenticated Id. Eg, Google's Gmail/Googlemail will automatically
rewrite the SMTP Envelope Sender to be the authenticated account
address; perhaps some other providers require the sender to be that
address?

To do that, add the return_path option to the smtp transport.
