Yahoo/ATT/Bellsouth requires TLS before they offer AUTH.  Test
with openssl rather than telnet.

# openssl s_client -connect smtp.att.yahoo.com:25 -starttls smtp
(... ssl handshake output redacted ...)
ehlo host.example.com
250-smtp.att.yahoo.com
250-PIPELINING
250-SIZE 41697280
250-8 BITMIME
250 AUTH PLAIN LOGIN XYMCOOKIE
quit
221 2.0.0 Bye




Verify postfix is using TLS by setting in main.cf:
smtp_tls_loglevel = 1
which will log a "TLS connection established" line.
