You shouldn't need to add that line because it's part of the default 
config. Post the output of postconf | grep smtpd_sasl so we can see if 
their is anything odd in your config.

Also make sure that you allow mynetworks before requiring authentication 
like this example below. If you don't, your mail server will try to 
authenticate access from localhost.

smtpd_recipient_restrictions =
         permit_mynetworks
         permit_sasl_authenticated
