So what *is* in the logs?  Posting random snips doesn't help much.

Showing your actual config rather than "sort of like this random web
page" would be more helpful.

What you posted is unreadable due to being all jumbled together.
And it doesn't show the master.cf modifications you made for amavis,
nor the changes you made to amavis config files.

Troubleshooting hints:
- make sure you can telnet to the amavis listener at 127.0.0.1:10024
- make sure you can telnet to the postfix reinjection port at
127.0.0.1:10025
- make sure your config matches what you intend, especially IP:port
settings.
- check the logs for clues about what's wrong.
- disable SELINUX or other security software
-  NOTE: verbose logs are *not* required, and will hide errors in a
flood of irrelevant data.

There are a lot of moving parts, but it's really not that
complicated. Check each part in turn.

If you need to ask for more help, share your setup and full unedited
NON-VERBOSE log messages.
