Please, no verbose logs unless specifically requested.
One hardly ever needs verbose logging, unless one suspects a bug.
postfix/master[3313]: warning: process /usr/libexec/postfix/smtpd pid

postfix/master[3313]: warning: /usr/libexec/postfix/smtpd: bad command

A configuration failure causes smtpd to abort.
Do i still need to configure smtp auth and what pwcheck method should i use?
WE don't know if you need SMTP AUTH.
When in doubt, consult the documentation:
http://www.postfix.org/SASL_README.html
I suggest you start with dovecot as your SASL provider, as it is very
easy to set up.
