Hi.
In my postfix queue I can see messages with return code 5xx which are still in
queue for delivery.
I find this strange, as the RFC 2821 states that codes starting with 5xx is a
permanent failure, and "The SMTP client is discouraged from repeating the exact
request".
Is this default behavior

The default behavior is to bounce. You changed it.
$ grep soft_bounce /etc/postfix/*
Wietse
Please check the parameter soft_bounce in main.cf.
If it is set to yes then it will disable the locally generated bounce
messages
