Solution
Check the zimbraMtaMyNetworks output in all MTA servers:
zmprov -l gs zimbra.example.com zimbraMtaMyNetworks
Confirm localhost (127.0.0.0/8 [::1]/128) network added or not. Add localhost network into zimbraMtaMyNetworks.
Example:
zmprov ms `zmhostname` zimbraMtaMyNetworks '127.0.0.0/8 [::1]/128 10.0.1.34/32 10.0.2.35/32' zmcontrol restart
