That would indicate a postfix issue since it would seem you are not getting mail from outside your network/host.
But either way you'll need config and log files of you'd like real help.

fatal: no SASL authentication mechanisms is pretty clear. Postfix doesn't allow external hosts to connect & relay mail, which explains what you're seeing. Why you're seeing that is better addressed on the postfix list, although you seem to have told postfix to use Dovecot for sasl auth, so maybe, since this is the Dovecot list you should send your Dovecot conf so we can see why it's not working. Also, if you ask on the postfix list you will be asked for the out-put of postfinger which can diagnose sasl problems. Simon
