External Mail address is being changed while processed from EOP to internal Zimbra Server.

If you're having trouble receiving mail from outside, you need to find out where the message is failing.

When sending your text message, check the, especially /var/log/zimbra.log, on your MTA server.

It's often helpful to tail the logfile as you send the message:

 tail -f /var/log/zimbra.log

If you see nothing logged (no connection, nothing) then the problem likely either DNS or your firewall.

It will help to https://www.o365cloudexperts.com/blog/zimbra-to-office-365-migration. If there is a line in the /var/log/zimbra.log like:

 postfix/lmtp ... deferred ... connection refused

There is no connection to port 7025 to perform Local Mail Transfer Protocol (LMTP) delivery.

This is nearly always caused by a host that is configured on private IP Space (or using NAT) and that does not have an interface for the public IP address the server resides on. This can be easily fixed by simply using native IP address lookups for lmtp rather than DNS. Alternatively, you could have your internal network's domain name configured to lookup differently internally than it does externally. Using that method is beyond the scope of this document.
