if you don't use /etc/passwd, then consider using
virtual_mailbox_domains instead of the local class. with the local
class, postfix needs to know the uid, gid and home directory to use for
delivery, which doesn't seem available in your setup.

take a look at http://workaround.org/ for an example of a mysql driven
virtual setup.

please send output of 'postconf -n', not excerpts from main.cf (nor the
full main.cf). see
