It can't do that easily because there are some parameters that define
others, so it's not easy for Postfix to tell a typo from a new parameter
that might be defined inside another, and for parameters where smtp and
smtpd are different it can't tell them from one another at all.

The canonical way is to run "postconf -n" and check if Postfix has
picked up your parameter.
