The RHS of this map should be in the form of username:password, as used
to authenticate with mail.zetnet.co.uk.

This is because your ISP's mail server announces "AUTH PLAIN LOGIN" and
by default:

 smtp_sasl_security_options = noplaintext, noanonymous

You could lower the default security standards by removing 'noplaintext'
from the above declaration, but that is not recommended.  For more,
check out the SASL_README.
