mailx is not a mail server. But that doesn't mean you can't run without one. If you only want to send postfix has a replacement for /usr/sbin/sendmail which is the command line method for sending messages. I think if you have sendmail configured properly and use mailx, it should automatically find the sendmail binary if the address is outside the host, and send the mail. Someone will correct me if it's wrong, but AFAIK it uses /usr/sbin/sendmail -t to send out without a running server.
Another option is ssmtp, simple SMTP. It's described as an "extremely simple MTA to get mail off the system to a mail hub". I use it on several machines for cron jobs to email results to me.
