Apologies.   While I am remiss in not posting that particular error, I
did post the configuration you mention back on 1/18/2022 1:27:39 PM
in this same thread. I assumed you had seen them.   Easy enough to 
miss from that far back.

The error I mentioned happened when I attempted to set all three options above
with all three options set as shown.  It is pasted here:

Jan 22 17:07:18 aux postfix/smtp[32115]: fatal: specify a password table via 
the `smtp_sasl_password_maps' configuration parameter
Jan 22 17:07:19 aux postfix/master[32097]: warning: process 
/usr/lib/postfix/bin//smtp pid 32115 exit status 1
Jan 22 17:07:19 aux postfix/master[32097]: warning: /usr/lib/postfix/bin//smtp:

Jan 22 17:08:19 aux postfix/smtp[32129]: fatal: specify a password table via 
the `smtp_sasl_password_maps' configuration parameter
Jan 22 17:08:20 aux postfix/master[32097]: warning: process

Jan 22 17:09:10 aux postfix/postfix-script[32143]: stopping the Postfix mail 
system

I can generate new config dumps if you like, or reference the previous ones, 
which except for the changes above are IIRC virtually unchanged.

Thanks for your efforts/
