I'm trying to use Dovecot SASL with postfix 2.3.3 and when trying to
send mail I get the debug output below. I don't know enough about whats
going on to know where the problem is but something clearly is not
right. I would send the configurations for postfix and dovecot except
they are clearly talking to each other so I kinda doubt its a
configuration issue. The machine can afford to be down for an hour or
two at a time for testing stuff if needed.

A working auth looks like this, I'm thinking that IMAP versus SMTP
should not be *too* big a difference in this case.
