I am assuming that when you say "via Gmail" you really mean it.
In other words Gmail (port 587 submission) will be asked to relay
the mail to a third party.
Naturally they will want to authenticate the sending client, and
generally enforce the equivalent of the Postifx
reject_sender_login_mismatch feature (possibly allowing some
specially provisioned client credentials to send as multiple sender
addresses).

This is NOT a question about Postfix. Postfix can act as a submission
client with either sender-specific or sender-domain specific
credentials.
Rather the real answer should be sought from the Gmail administrators,
but since they're too busy to answer questions in person, inferred
from their online documentation.
I strongly advise against attempting to track the passwords of multiple
users on the server, and the server and all its users live under one
roof, and perhaps not even then. Again this is NOT a Postfix issue.
This is a Gmail account provisioning issue.
