is rumored to have said:

But my problem now is SASL over smtp — which I seem to read now Dovecot does not support. So — it seems — I MUST use Cyrus for that. Currently my compiled Postfix has no support for smtp SASL (postconf -A is empty). But it seems I need it for Postfix to authenticate to the relay host server.

Correct. You need to link to the Cyrus SASL implementation to act as an authenticated client to a "smarthost" relay.

You need to add these items to your CCARGS

-DUSE_SASL_AUTH -DUSE_CYRUS_SASL -I/usr/local/include/sasl
