It sounds like you are asking your MTA to do a relay when you are outside your LAN, and postfix will not allow that by default. ( A good thing most of the time.) You probably need to look at your configuration of postfix and see if you can allow it to just relay from you.
Probably better would be to just use your ISPs smtp server or run a MTA on your portable just to do deliveries. I can't give you more specific info on postfix - I'm not familiar enough with it.
