SMTP auth is only useful for SASLish stuff or <protocol> before SMTP relay issues. That doesn't stop 3rd party spoofing of 3rd party addresses. Since that's the majority of mail into an organization (in my experience, >90%), it's hardly effective. Most *nix MTAs these days stop 3rd party relay of 1st party addresses (my experiences with Notes as an MTA in the distant past make the recommendation of a "real" MTA in front of it easy to advance.)
