I already told you which settings are missing in main.cf:

broken_sasl_auth_clients = yes
smtpd_sasl_auth_enable = yes
smtpd_sasl_local_domain =
smtpd_sasl_security_options = noanonymous

Add these settings, execute "postfix reload" and verify that the AUTH line
is present.

telnet localhost 25
ehlo localhost

Do you now see an AUTH line?

Sandy
