The reason your mail is working locally is probably because postfix is

All outgoing mail comes from the local network: one desktop
server/workstation and two portables.
IMPORTANT: saslauthd usually establishes a UNIX domain socket in
/var/run/saslauthd and waits for authentication requests. The Postfix
SMTP server must have read+execute permission to this directory or
authentication attempts will fail.
So with that said, make sure postfix can read that directory and the
files under it.
That's what mode 7xx does.
debugging requires rigour. The first step is to identify the file being
accessed. there is no point chmod-ing arbitrary files. once you find the
file, check its permissions and that of its parent directories. then
check if selinux/apparmor/whatever prevents access (check the logs).
when you report the results of the steps above (or of any claims), give
all the details: convince us with facts, not with feelings.
And as Noel said, use saslfinger and follow the DEBUG README. debugging
requires rigour.
