That implies you were sending unauthenticated mail to a local domain
via smtps.  As a general rule, that's something you want to prevent
since it bypasses all your carefully crafted antispam controls.  I
have seen a few attempts to deliver spammy-looking unauthenticated
mail via smtps/465, haven't noticed it on submission/587 (but never
really looked for it).

So reject_unauth_destination is OK for testing, but for production I
would strongly suggest leaving it at reject.

If you need to send unauthenticated mail over smtps/submission on an
ongoing basis, you can define a very limited -o mynetworks=...
setting and add permit_mynetworks before the reject.
