You're doing a PTR lookup for $original_domain, which is google.com.

"interface" should be an IP address that's bound locally to your
servers' ethernet or loopback interface.

You should probably use the recipient domain instead (which would be
local, and which you'd be able to associate with an IP address).

This is how I do it:

smtp:
   driver                = smtp
   hosts_randomize
   interface             = ${extract {oif} {PARAM} }
   helo_data             = ${extract {oif_name} {PARAM} {$value}  
{$primary_hostname}}
