Thanks for the reply. I did not thing to use -n as normally I use -d.
The output is:

smtp_sasl_auth_enable = yes

Since there are no errors in the log, I can't imagine why the difference.

Can you confirm from my log that I am correct in that it is not even
attempting to authenticate (as opposed to some failed authentication
attempt)? The only change that may have occurred is an automatic update.
I am running this on CentOS 6 and the current postfix version is 2.6.6.
I would need to dig through the 'yum' log to see what the previous
version was and whether or not an update occurred at the same time as
this problem.
