This problem is a failure to *send* email out, that is already in
the queue. Not failure to authenticate submission requests that
add mail to the queue.

It helps if you actually look at your logs to see what they actually
say, rather than posting them without trying to read them. You
can also look at your queue with "mailq", or "qshape" (available
with Postfix source).
You've got a firewall problem or similar, your network is blocking
connections to port 25 on that host. I have no trouble connecting
to it:
