I think here you miss vchkpw argument (/bin/true):

try:
 exec /usr/local/bin/softlimit -m 800 \
 /usr/local/bin/tcpserver -v -R -l 0 -x /etc/tcp.smtp.cdb -c "$MAXSMTPD" \
 -u "$QMAILDUID" -g "$NOFILESGID" 0 smtp /var/qmail/bin/qmail-smtpd \
  /home/vpopmail/bin/vchkpw /bin/true 2>&1
^
check for the real path of true command
(in *BSD system is usually /usr/bin/true).
Let me know if it works...

[Shane Chrisp]

Im not sure, but I would think that the smtpd would need to run as the
vpopmail user to be able to auth. Someone else may tell me im wrong,
but that's my guess. I don't use smtp auth here.
