Well, I compiled postfix again and somehow now I can see more data using 
dovecot sasl, no idea, why I didn't see this before:


Escape character is '^]'.
220 my.domain.ee ESMTP
ehlo k.com
250-my.domain.ee

250-ENHANCEDSTATUSCODES
250-8BITMIME
250 DSN
starttls
220 2.0.0 Ready to start TLS

Using in main.cf smtpd_tls_auth_only = no

Enabled, trying to send message with Entourage, SSL enabled, port 465, 
outgoing server requires authentication with same credentials as 
incoming servers:
