  $ man snmpd

  OPTIONS

    -x ADDRESS
        Listens for AgentX connections on the specified address ....


So although the agent is indeed listening on port 161, it is expecting
*AgentX*  requests on that port, rather than SNMP packets.

Though that doesn't actually explain why SNMP queries are working
when sent to localhost - I'd expect them to be discarded as malformed
as well.
