This is probably your problem.

smtp_sasl_password_maps (default: empty)

    Optional Postfix SMTP client lookup tables with one
    username:password entry per sender, remote hostname or next-hop
    domain. Per-sender lookup is done only when sender-dependent
    authentication is enabled. If no username:password entry is found,
    then the Postfix SMTP client will not attempt to authenticate to
    the remote host.

    The Postfix SMTP client opens the lookup table before going to
    chroot jail, so you can leave the password file in /etc/postfix.

    Specify zero or more "type:name" lookup tables, separated by
    whitespace or comma. Tables will be searched in the specified order
    until a match is found.

By the way Roelof, could you please post in regular ASCII text as
opposed to HTML. HTML doesn't belong on an email forum list.
