How did you install Proj, from a package or source?

First find postgis-2.3.so and do:

ldd postgis-2.3.so

It should show something like:

         linux-vdso.so.1 (0x00007ffe3ed8a000)
         libgeos_c.so.1 => /usr/lib64/libgeos_c.so.1 (0x00007f975bd09000)
     ==> libproj.so.9 => /usr/lib64/libproj.so.9 (0x00007f975baaa000)
         libxml2.so.2 => /usr/lib64/libxml2.so.2 (0x00007f975b73f000)
         libm.so.6 => /lib64/libm.so.6 (0x00007f975b442000)
         libc.so.6 => /lib64/libc.so.6 (0x00007f975b09e000)
         libgeos-3.5.1.so => /usr/lib64/libgeos-3.5.1.so
(0x00007f975acef000)
         libstdc++.so.6 => /usr/lib64/libstdc++.so.6 (0x00007f975a966000)
         libgcc_s.so.1 => /lib64/libgcc_s.so.1 (0x00007f975a74e000)
         libpthread.so.0 => /lib64/libpthread.so.0 (0x00007f975a531000)
         libdl.so.2 => /lib64/libdl.so.2 (0x00007f975a32d000)
         libz.so.1 => /lib64/libz.so.1 (0x00007f975a116000)
         liblzma.so.5 => /usr/lib64/liblzma.so.5 (0x00007f9759eed000)
         /lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 (0x000055ebafa02000)

That will verify if postgis-2.3.so is linked to libproj.
