First part of your mail: then you did something wrong with key creation
or installation. One documentation which I find helpful is

http://sial.org/howto/openssl/

A better one is only in German and so not really a help for you I guess.

Second part of your mail: if you relay based on SMTP AUTH then there is
no IP database allowed for relaying. That is the sense of SMTP AUTH.
Anyone with a valid username/password for auth can relay through the
MTA. Whether you are at home, on holidays in a foreign country or a
travelling agent who needs to mail from across the world. The IP address
does not matter. But you can see from the maillog who uses SMTP AUTH if
you observe the maillog for the "authid=$USERNAME" entries. If you have
your users allowed for SMTP AUTH in a database like sasldb2 then you can
list them using sasldblistusers2.
