This is wrong:

- Outgoing connections have nothing to do with "smtpd".

- There is no parameter called "bind_address" that is understood by
  "smtpd" or any other Postfix daemon.

- The place to set these parameters is usually main.cf not master.cf
  unless the parameter setting varies by transport.

The right answer has already been provided in another response.
