Is this a new server? and have you made sure the relevant domains have Letsencrypt enabled and by default these certs should install them for use with the mail server.

I would guess that
fatal: open /etc/postfix/main.cf: No such file or directory
Is slightly more important

This is a fair question. Did the system ever work or did something change?

The problem was fixed. I deleted the domain and created it again.
