"spamassassin" as a standalone binary uses another configuration file
as the spamassassin integrated into mimedefang does. That is
likely your problem... try to compare with:

spamassassin -p /etc/mail/sa-mimedefang.cf < ENTIRE_MESSAGE

Then possibly tweak your sa-mimedefang.cf

Note that you also use a different bayes database, apparently. Compare
the configs of sa-mimedefang.cf and all *.cf files under
/etc/mail/spamassassin. You could if you like put something like
"include /etc/mail/spamassassin/local.cf" in your sa-mimedefang.cf,
along with any other *.cf files you want to use.

(This assumes spamassassin actually uses /etc/mail/spamassassin,
and mimedefang uses /etc/mail. Substitute the appropriate paths for
your setup, if necessary)
