That should generate a self-signed certificate, and that should work.

And you have the following in your postfix main.cf file?
smtpd_use_tls = yes
smtpd_tls_cert_file = /etc/postfix/smtpd.cert
smtpd_tls_key_file = /etc/postfix/smtpd.key

I've tried it with those settings, and it works for me.

Did you try testing it with s_client?
