The entry openfiles-cur=1024 is overriding the entry openfiles=1024. Note that openfiles=value sets both openfiles-max=value and openfiles-cur=value.
The setting openfiles-max setting is the upper limit which can only be changed by root while any user can change their own openfiles-cur up the maximum value set previously. You will either need to increase openfiles-cur or remove it completely and only have openfiles=4096. All this info and more is contained in login.conf(5) and getrlimit(2). However, I believe the recommended practice would be to create a new login class, called 'relayd' say, that inherits from the daemon class. This is specified using the entry: tc=daemon. Otherwise, every process running as a user in the daemon class will have these heightened privileges - and there's a lot of them. Regards, JP
