Here is the result of a recent test on my SMTP server, I just want this server to send emails which used to work perfectly upto about a week ago

Server Details
CentOS : 6.4
PostFix mail_version = 2.6.6
zpanel is the control panel software used
The main.cf file of postfile has been reproduced at http://pastebin.com/jqJMv1TM
The mails from the server on any of the domains are not working so I am sure this isnt a domain specific issue and something to do with the server. I have also tried public tests, sending email with php and also using the webmail that comes with zpanel and all of them fail for any mails outside the domain.
I have tried to find multiple resolutions provided in threads like this (Postfix: Relay Access Denied when sending mail from outside the network) and most of them relate to other configurations in an external software. We only have apache, zpanel, php, mysql (mysql Ver 14.14 Distrib 5.1.69, for redhat-linux-gnu (x86_64) using readline 5.1) and postfix installed on this server no other software that in my knowledge affects the behaviour of this. We recently had a domain name change (the primary domain) and this issue seems to have been happening from then.
Maillog does not report anything that looks significant to this issue and reports the following, but keeps growing at a tremendous speed, which I believe is a separate issue

- Note - While mydomainname.com has been changed, testinstall.com is an actual domain name that we use.
I have completely made main.cf empty and still the error persists but with a different error code
