There could've been other reasons for the failure too, but it's
certainly a strong indication.

Which authentication mechanisms does your server offer (i.e. what's the
EHLO response)? Perhaps you're not offering a mechanism that Outlook
Express supports, or Outlook Express simply isn't configured to
authenticate. I vaguely remember Outlook Express to support LOGIN but
not PLAIN.

No such line in this log snippet, so Outlook Express does not
authenticate and thus permit_sasl_authenticated won't have any effect.
Please do not top-post.
