There are some of Postfix's daemons running above, but you seem to be
missing:

root      286  0.0  0.8   872  220  ??  Is   29Sep99   0:10.23
/usr/local/libexec/postfix/master

Which is the actual process that listens on port 25.  Since 'postfix
reload' cannot communicate with master, it says that postfix is not
running.  Next step, find out where your master is?
