One gotcha (at least for me) is to make sure you tell what kind of auth you need
to reply to (for example):

smtp_sasl_mechanism_filter = plain, login


For what it is worth, this is all that I have to authenticate to the upstream isp:

smtp_sasl_auth_enforce = yes
smtp_sasl_security_options =
smtp_sasl_auth_enable = yes
smtp_sasl_security_options =
smtp_sasl_password_maps = hash:/etc/postfix/sasl_passwd
smtp_sasl_mechanism_filter = plain, login
broken_sasl_auth_clients = yes


Then make sure that the sasl_passwd is correct and made into a correct db file.
