SASL is already configured on the host:

Binary file /etc/postfix/sasl_passwd.db matches

mail.btopenworld.com does not necessarily match [mail.btopenworld.com]
From the docs:

The "[" and "]" prevent Postfix from looking up the MX (mail

records for the enclosed name. If you use this form in main.cf, then
you
must use the same form also in the smtp_sasl_password_maps file.

What happens if you make them match with the brackets?
Sweet! :D

Many MANY thanks for your patient and expert help.
BTW, Postfix 2.1 is quite old. You may consider moving to the latest
version 2.5.5 (currently)
Yeah, but it's the typical big fear of messing with any of the Unixy
stuff shipped on a Mac - that an automated update will break something.
Stroller.
