Postfix only uses EHLO if the remote machine says it can handle it (ESMTP).

No. By default, Postfix scans the SMTP greeting for the string ESMTP as a
of crude way of detecting ESMTP capability before sending HELO/EHLO, but
obviously that's not reliable. The only way that the remote machine can tell
you about its ESMTP capabilities is in the reply to your EHLO command.
