I'm trying to setup a mail server. I followed this guide: http://www.howtoforge.com/virtual-users-and-domains-with-postfix-courier-mysql-and-squirrelmail-ubuntu-12.10
Everything works with squirrelmail, i can send and receive emails. When i try to connect to the server with outlook, it connects fine, i can receive emails, but i can not send them.
I tried sending via telnet:
EHLO ***
AUTH LOGIN
334 VXNlcm5hbWU6
my64bitEncodedUsername
334 UGFzc3dvcmQ6
my64bitEncodedPass
535 5.7.8 Error: authentication failed: no mechanism available
In /var/log/mail.log i get ony this line:

Answer
To add in main.cf:
smtpd_sasl_type = cyrus
cyrus_sasl_config_path = /etc/postfix/sasl/
and then restart postfix
