Helo command rejected: Host not found - Setup postfix to accept sending mails from my home server through my public server

Here's the issue:

smtpd_helo_restrictions = reject_invalid_helo_hostname,
    reject_non_fqdn_helo_hostname,
    reject_unknown_helo_hostname

The last of those, reject_unknown_helo_hostname, tells Postfix to reject mail if the hostname given in the HELO command cannot be resolved. If you remove that, your problem should go away.

You should reverse the change you did (setting smtpd_helo_required to no). That change made it so that a client can connect and start sending mails without doing a HELO at all - but if the client does do a HELO, the restrictions in smtpd_helo_restrictions would still apply, as you've found.

You can change your HELO policy to:

smtpd_helo_restrictions = 
    permit_mynetworks,
    reject_invalid_helo_hostname,
    reject_non_fqdn_helo_hostname,
    reject_unknown_helo_hostname

...and add your home mail server's address to mynetworks = ... line.

Although the answer by @JennyD is valid and should solve your problem, it can be better to keep your current HELO policy for external hosts. This has an advantage: misconfigured MTAs won't be able to send messages to your server, which will save you from some spam (although rather a little bit). Anyway, hosts with improper HELO configuration are to be suspected.

Going a bit further, make sure you have at least reject_unknown_client_hostname among the list under ie. smtpd_client_restrictions = .... This will prevent messages from MTA hosts without proper reverse DNS record and thus many botnet relays. Another important antispam measure would be SPF policy deamon (ie. milter-greylist) and, obviously, SpamAssassin.
