Wouter, If you still want to try smtp auth on the different server. You can install vpopmail on the smtp auth server with the same config on your mail server. And you can define the remote vpopmail db(mysql or pgsql) in your smtp auth server vpopmail.mysql file. So you don't have to define the domains in the smtp auth server. I am already using this configuration at one of our customers without any problem.
