Both.  Sorta.  SMTP AUTH is *specifically* for allowing clients to relay
when they are not listed in the IP based access list.  In other words:
they were already required to authenticate to relay mail.

AUTH_REQUIRED makes AUTH *required*.  Don't turn that on, and everything
will work the way you want it to.
