I believe that the postgresql service has Type=notify in it's service
definition, which means that it will notify systemd when it is
operational. This means that if you have a service that has
After=postgresql.service, systemd should wait until after the
postgresql service notifies systemd that it is operational before your
service will be started.
If your service is starting and unable to connect to postgresql, then
I would say that's a bug in postgresql -- it shouldn't be notifying
systemd that it is operational until it actually is.
