See <https://www.postfix.org/SASL_README.html>.
Is that a valid username?  How is it associated with
a password the server can check...

SASL is required, but needs to be configured correctly, in particular
needs to have a working backend for password validation.

That seems to be the only SASL configuration parameter related to the
Postfix SMTP server (smtpd(8)), likely you need to be more specific.
Some relevant defaults, and you probably need to put something useful in
the server "smtpd.conf" file (probably under /etc/postfix/sasl/).

    smtpd_sasl_local_domain =
    smtpd_sasl_mechanism_filter = !external, static:rest
    smtpd_sasl_path = smtpd
    smtpd_sasl_type = cyrus
    smtpd_tls_auth_only = no
