In my situation, all SMTP AUTH is sent through port 465 (smtps) using TLS. I hope that helps.
First, smtps (port 465) is deprecated, so you should use the STARTTLS+submission port (587) unless there is a specific reason to use smtps. The iPhone supports SARTTLS fine.
Thanks for the suggestion. I am not the one quoted below and my setup has been working fine for years now. While I could just as easily use 587 (and I have in some larger projects I have done), I left this at 465 and it really doesn't matter. My experience has been that every mail client I have used tried to connect on 465, 587, and 25 and it was never a problem. For that matter, I have also used port 1025 because many networks block access to 25 although this configuration always needs manual entering of the port since it is completely non-standard.
Next - there is absolutely no evidence that SMTP_AUTH is attempted in your log snippet:
Jul 29 20:10:02 ubuntu postfix/smtpd[28892]: connect from unknown[166.205.142.84] Jul 29 20:10:06 ubuntu postfix/smtpd[28892]: NOQUEUE: reject: RCPT from unknown[166.205.142.84]: 554 5.7.1 xxx@gmail.com: Relay access denied; from=amit@outsidedomain.com to=xxx@gmail.com proto=ESMTP helo=<[10.67.168.110]> Jul 29 20:10:06 ubuntu postfix/smtpd[28892]: disconnect from unknown[166.205.142.84]
I think you're probably correct about the person who posted this. In a private email to him after he replied to me privately I suggested he make sure that he is actually using SMTP AUTH in his iPhone Mail preferences.
