Linux postfix/dovecot 554 Relay access denied

I have this error 554 Relay access denied when trying to send email from my outlook client.

I can read incoming mails but cannot send.

If i connect with telnet localhost 25 i can send external emails, but with outlook client it doesn't work.

Here's my postfix and dovecot config :

postconf -n

alias_database = hash:/etc/aliases
alias_maps = hash:/etc/aliases
append_dot_mydomain = no
biff = no
config_directory = /etc/postfix
inet_interfaces = all
mailbox_size_limit = 0
mydestination = localhost
myhostname = mail.mydomain.com
mynetworks = 127.0.0.0/8 [::ffff:127.0.0.0]/104 [::1]/128
myorigin = /etc/mailname
readme_directory = no
recipient_delimiter = +
relayhost =
smtpd_banner = $myhostname ESMTP $mail_name (Ubuntu)
smtpd_recipient_restrictions = permit_sasl_authenticated, permit_mynetworks, reject_unauth_destination
smtpd_sasl_auth_enable = yes
smtpd_sasl_path = private/auth
smtpd_sasl_type = dovecot

smtpd_tls_cert_file = /etc/ssl/certs/dovecot.pem

virtual_transport = lmtp:unix:private/dovecot-lmtp

doveconf -n

}

    user = postfix
  }
  unix_listener auth-userdb {
    mode = 0600
    user = vmail
  }
  user = dovecot
}
service imap-login {
  inet_listener imap {
    port = 0
  }
}
service lmtp {
  unix_listener /var/spool/postfix/private/dovecot-lmtp {
    group = postfix
    mode = 0600
    user = postfix
  }
}
service pop3-login {
  inet_listener pop3 {
    port = 0
  }
}
ssl = required
ssl_cert = </etc/dovecot/dovecot.pem
ssl_key = </etc/dovecot/private/dovecot.pem
userdb {
  args = uid=vmail gid=vmail home=/var/mail/vhosts/%d/%n
  driver = static
}
userdb {
  args = uid=vmail gid=vmail home=/var/mail/vhosts/%d/%n
  driver = static
}

Any thoughts?

If you use a postfix version newer then 2.10, then you need to add the smtpd_relay_restrictions option as described here:

# With Postfix 2.10 and later, the mail relay policy is
# preferably specified under smtpd_relay_restrictions.
/etc/postfix/main.cf:
    smtpd_relay_restrictions =
    permit_mynetworks
    permit_sasl_authenticated
    reject_unauth_destination

# Older configurations combine relay control and spam control under
# smtpd_recipient_restrictions. To use this example with Postfix ≥
# 2.10 specify "smtpd_relay_restrictions=".
/etc/postfix/main.cf:
    smtpd_recipient_restrictions =
    permit_mynetworks
    permit_sasl_authenticated
    reject_unauth_destination
        ...other rules...

After that, any sasl authenticated user should be able to send mails through the server using smtp.
