Yes I did (of course).

The README does NOT give any information on the use of multiple
interfaces. It says "change ... into ..." but my master file doesn't
have these lines. It would be much better if it would explain HOW it
works so you can do the adjustments yourself.

I tried another variant:

192.168.0.1:smtp inet ... postscreen
    -o options...

192.168.0.1:pass inet ... smtpd
    -o options...

This resembles the approach in the README most closely.

Postfix does start, but it doesn't honour the options, on both
instances. It's very simple to check, because I have postcheck report
another welcome string on every interface. Now it shows the "default"
welcome string, without postscreen, it gives the proper welcome string.

Read that too. It is not completely clear to me, but I suspect this
gives me multiples queues too, which is not what I want, I want to route
e-mail between all interfaces.

See above, SMTP welcome string. Which I added as an option to both the
smtpd and the postscreen line... None of them were honoured.
