Something is wrong somewhere.

As a matter of fact, CRAM-MD5, GSSAPI, and DIGEST-MD5 should'nt
be used at all in your case because you are already using TLS.
TLS and anyone of these are mutually exclusive. You use TLS
of one of this.

hmm dunno

the above settings all work, and my mailserver keeps functioning
accepting normal mail and so on.  Problem is I still can't
relay through it remotely.


I think it is your,

inet_interfaces = localhost

You're telling postfix to accept 'SMTP' connections from 'localhost'
only.

do you mean "mynetworks"? as I said, it receives mail on all interfaces so that's not it.


Tick username and password
Tick TLS for 'Use secure connection:'. Not SSL.

yes the result of that is here:

So then I ticked the "use name and passwd" box and entered
my username "davidf".  It kept popping up a box asking for
my passwd, which I entered.

errors are:

(I'm not ticking the "ssl" box, cos then it uses port 465)

Try ticking 'TLS'.
