See https://www.postfix.org/postconf.5.html section smtpd_tls_dh1024_param_file

With Postfix ≥ 3.7, built with OpenSSL version is 3.0.0 or later, if the parameter value is either empty or "auto", then the DH parameter selection is delegated to the OpenSSL library, which selects appropriate parameters based on the TLS handshake. This choice is likely to be the most interoperable with SMTP clients using various TLS libraries, and custom local parameters are no longer recommended when using Postfix ≥ 3.7 built against OpenSSL 3.0.0.
