This error is with your SMTP *server* authenticating submission users.

These settings are for your SMTP *client* to authenticate itself
to remote relay hosts that require SASL authentication.

This is therefore irrelevant. To configure SASL to authenticate
users requires some expertise with an appropriate SASL backend
driver (often PAM) and a .conf file that selects the right driver
and driver options. You may need to run saslauthd, ...
You're probably better off with dovecot, it is a less steep learning
curve. Cyrus SASL is substantially more configurable, at great
cost in interface complexity.
