Can you post a copy of the section of your sasl in your /etc/postfix/main.cf 
for reference?

Mine looks as so:

smtp_sasl_auth_enable = yes
smtp_sasl_password_maps = hash:/etc/postfix/sasl_passwd
smtp_sasl_security_options = noanonymous

And finally, some smarthosts, although not mine, require 
smtp_always_send_ehlo = yes

to be present since not all MTA's automatically send ehlo upon connect and 
some smarthosts require that.

You also need to put your clear text password into a file and then use the 
hash routine to has it, not all will accept passwords in the clear.  My ISP 
does not.  The last step was the one that I needed to complete along with 
putting the has for password maps in before I was able to get SMTP AUTH to 
work with Postfix.

You may also need to install the libsasl2-plug-digestmd5 and 
libsasl2-plug-crammd5 to get it to work.  Again, some systems won't accept 
plain authentication, they require md5 or some hash to authenticate.

If you load these packages and try this, let me know if it still doesn't work.  
I found a howto setup on SASL SMTPAUTH for Postfix somewhere which is where I 
got my settings from, I can probably find it again.  It has a walkthrough for 
figuring out what authentication the smarthost supports and how to configure 
for it.
