What version of Courier are you using?  Did you install the
courier-smtpauth rpm package (assuming you are using an RPM based
platform)?  Courier versions up to 0.47 will require the courier-smtpauth
rpm in order to allow SMTP based authentication.  0.48 and beyond will not
have a seperate smtpauth package.  Also, what backend are you using? 
Local users, LDAP, MySQL, userdb?
