Thats normal, every mailserver which identifies as a local mailserver or uses a dynamic or even statip HELO is rejected

But, how can I receive those encrypted emails?

Since you removed literally everything which is needed to figure out a regex for server HELO, i cannot help you currently

I did not remove anything, except my email address and senders information.
The information I provided is the message sender receives. I get nothing on my side.
Where should I look in my mail server?

This is quite clear.
If you want to allow this HELO hostname, insert one line at the beginning of  /etc/postfix/helo_access.pcre to bypass it:

/^zix\.xxx\.xxxx\.local$/ OK
