4 minutes is more than enough :)

Yeah. Your timeouts are long enough that what I described will
basically never happen.
If you don't see any milter timeout messages, then something is making
a decision to not run spamassasin on that mail. The 2 most likely
explanations: those messages came in via a trusted sender (listed by
the -i flag to spamass-milter) and checking was skipped, or they were
over 250k and spamc short-circuited them right back without running
them through spamassassin. Neither of those seem to be the case for
you though. Try adding "-d misc" to your spamass-milter commandline
and see whether you see an "SA Score" maillog entry for the next
message that doesn't get marked.
