When I run the "courierd start" and "esmtpd start" commands, I get what looks to me like a reasonable process list:

root@dense:/# ps auxw | grep cour mail 12533 0.0 0.2 2552 1552 ? S 17:49:28 0:00

/opt/mj/courier-0.42.0/libexec/courier/courierd

But nothing is listening on port 25, so I can't accept deliveries from other systems. In fact, "lsof -i -a -p 12537" returns no output at all.

Any idea why this happens?

You didn't start the esmtp server. Read "Starting and stopping Courier" in INSTALL. The entire section, not just the first paragraph.
