"The control process" would be master(8), look for and report relevant
boot-time logging from postfix/master.
Are all the requisite filesystems mounted at the time Postfix starts?
Is the DNS resolver already running (in case master.cf lists hostnames
to listen on, ...)? Perhaps some pre-requisite services aren't yet
live?

Is there a particularly large count of messages in the (deferred, active
hold or incoming) queues?

Ah, finally a hint (timeout), not surprising because Postfix was
started by hand and not via systemctl/systemd.

So startup takes too long. Now you need to find out why.
