unless the server in question is strictly an msa, permit_sasl_authenticated should never be found in the global config/restrictions. it should only be found in the restrictions for the submission service [i.e. master.cf]. smtpd_sasl_auth_enable = yes goes along with this, and should also only be set for the submission service. if you're not already, to help with this distinction, setting a different syslog name [e.g. -o syslog_name=postfix/submission] for the submission service can be beneficial.
