So you have two tables mysql and a hash table.

After setting "maps" to the exact list tables you configured.
$ postmap -fq newu...@example.com \
mysql:/etc/postfix/Mail-Alias.cf \
hash:/etc/postfix/virtual_user_aliases
You almost certainly have an entry for "newu...@example.com"
in the mysql table that hides any data in the hash table. Perhaps
you should list the hash table first, if you want it to take
precedence over mysql.

I'm disappointed you could not then figure it out by reading the manpage,
or parsing the "usage:" message.
postmap -q key map [optionally more maps]
