By default EnableAuthSMTP-POP3 is enabled. You are probably POPing mail before sending so it doesn't ask you for the username. To confirm that you are secure take the # out from before EnableAuthSMTP-POP3 and that will disable that method of authenticating you. Now you should have problems sending mail to non-local domains unless you send authentication first.
