Your maillog file should contain some SASL info or errors, and I don't see any; so my
assumption is that the remote SMTP connection was not even trying to authenticate.

Some things to try:

1. See if your SMTP server is offering up the authentication mechanisms.

telnet 127.0.0.1 25
ehlo world.com

(make sure it displays 1 or 2 lines that say:
250-AUTH CRAM-MD5 LOGIN DIGEST-MD5 PLAIN)

quit

2. Test with an email client such as Thunderbird, which allows you to specify an SMTP server
with a login and password.

3. If you are still stuck and need a test method that provides more clues: grab the source code
for Cyrus-IMAP. Compile it, but don't need to install it. It creates an executable called "imtest".
Copy that program to a filename of "smtptest". Type "./smtptest --" for instructions. It allows
you to test the various SASL mechanisms into your SMTP service, and provides some clues.
