Postfix server suddenly is sending with relay= field, any idea?

I have a postfix server I use for simple development testing. A few days ago, mail started sending like this:
Oct 21 16:26:16 ct2209-debian-12 postfix/smtp[473]: 333AF40890: to=<testtest@emailserver.com>, relay=mx.plingest.com[38.143.66.193]:25, delay=1, delays=0.07/0.01/0.3/0.64, dsn=2.0.0, status=sent (250 2.0.0 Ok: queued as 95ED46780C01)
Notice the relay=mx.plingest.com[38.143.66.193] field?
I have nothing to do with that plingest nor was that configured anywhere. It just suddenly showed up, whereas before there was never a relay= field and mail was sent as normal.
Postfix mail.cf has nothing configured for relaying to an external server.
Any ideas?

If the To address in that snippet is where you are sending to, Postfix is probably doing a lookup on that domain and sending to the mx for that.

Well the mail its sending to is @protonmail.com is that related? Thanks for helping/checking!
