There is no module named Postfix for use as DELIVERY_MODULE.  The
comments in Defaults.py say this for the DELIVERY_MODULE setting:

    # Final delivery module for outgoing mail.  This handler is used
    # for message delivery to the list via the smtpd, and to an
    # individual user.  This value must be a string naming a module in
    # the Mailman.Handlers package.

Looking in Mailman/Handlers there is no Postfix module, thus, the
error.

Any particular reason you figured that would be an option?

If SMTPDirect isn't working, you should go through the steps in FAQ
3.14 and read README.POSTFIX.
