That document is for Postfix 2.1, generally speaking, if is it is not
documented as a configuration parameter in the smtpd(8) man page for your
version of Postfix, changing it on the smtpd command line in main.cf will
have no effect (since the parameter in question is used by other
services).

When making master.cf overrides you need to understand not only how a
parameter is used, but also where and when it is used. Either follow
working recipes, or read lots of documentation and/or source to figure out
how whether the parameter supports specific per-service overrides.
