Cool.  Glad to hear it!

Authentication over plain text is only allowed if ESMTPAUTH is set in 
etc/courier/esmtpd.  To maintain password security, that setting should 
be empty.  Instead, use ESMTPAUTH_TLS to enable authentication only 
after TLS is initialized.

I wrote earlier that protecting authentication with encryption would 
leave you with only tools like fail2ban.  I should have mentioned that 
the other good option is using an authentication backend that'll lock 
accounts temporarily when there are repeated auth failures.
