You don't need the relocation message to give the new address directly: you define the exact message. Which I don't have clear is how big it can be: I think it is a single line, perhaps long.
No, if you use relocated the text is already hardcoded, you can't change it. It's another situation alltogether if you simply reject the mail and add the explanatory text as reject message. That line can be pretty long, long enough to inform the sender and give a link to a more detailed web page.
Are you sure? Postfix man pages are not the easiest to read, but "man relocated" seems to say different:
So I understand you can use:
someone@oldaddress The address you have used is no longer valid, please phone me at (+34) 555 1234
Yes, that much is true, but...
Now, the message will probably contain more text, and that I guess will be hardcoded. However... I think I read somewhere that this messages could be translated, for instance, to Spanish. But I don't remember where I read this.
The entire reject text would read like this:
550 5.1.1
