You need to allow amavisd to accept connections from x.x.x.40/29:

@inet_acl = qw( 127.0.0.1 [::1] x.x.x.40/29 );

and you need amavisd to bind to all interfaces (instead
of a defaults which binds to a loopback interface only):

$inet_socket_bind = undef;  # binds to all IP interfaces if undef

Your telnet connected to a loopback interface,
while your Postfix connects to an ethernet interface.
