That is incorrect. Any SMTP client is allowed to send mail to
Postfix, but RELAYING is restricted with permit_mynetworks,
permit_sasl_authenticated, and the like.

That is incorrect. Relay privileges depend (through permit_mynetworks)
on SASL authentication. SASL authentication does not depend on relay
privileges.
