Absolutely not necessary. In most cases - as long as the default (yes)
for smtpd_delay_reject hasn't been changed - it is perfectly fine to
have all restrictions under smtpd_recipient_restrictions - and in fact
it is desirable because it is easier to maintain.

The problem is that you are *not* sasl_authenticating - if you were,
then you would not have hit that restriction.

We need two things - output of postconf -n on your server, and a log
snippet of a rejected send attempt.

Also, contents of master.cf - are you using port 25, or the submission
port (587)? You should always use the submission port if you aren't now.
