Hi,
I was wrong it isn’t working :(
When I looked for the email in gmail, I actually found the sent email. I thought it was what I received haha

Can someone help?
Maybe with this?

/etc/postfix/main.cf
http://pastebin.centos.org/5951/

Thank you

By the way, the error message from google is different from my 1st post.

Technical details of temporary failure:
The recipient server did not accept our requests to connect. Learn more at http://support.google.com/mail/bin/answer.py?answer=7720
[(0) xxxxxxx.com . [xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx ]:25: Connection refused]
[(5) mail.xxxxxxx.com . [xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx ]:25: Connection refused]

When I follow the Google link and go to their mx configuring page I get a wrning on ‘SPF MUST allow Google servers to send mail on behalf of domain.’ but the data that provides google is 100% the same I have in my config

By chance, have you taken a look at How To Set Up a Postfix E-Mail Server with Dovecot? I realize that it’s written for Debian, but with How To Install Postfix on CentOS 6, you should be able to easily apply it to your situation.
