One more observation.
The postrouting is looking for packets with a *destination* port 80.

I think this rule is meant to deal with packets from the apache server
returning to the client. I think apache will have a well known
*source* port of 80 in this case, the destination port is random.

You could look with a sniffer to check.
Or look at the packet counters to see if it is matching.
