That can't be concluded from the rejection message. From below
information we can see that SMTP AUTH isn't offered by that host with IP
205.152.58.33. Testing 205.152.58.32 shows the same.

SMTP is something very different to POP3 / IMAP. Though all protocols
typically share the same user backend on server side.
Did you already setup SMTP AUTH with Postfix? Anyway, it can only happen
if the server side offers and supports it. It may be helpful if you tell
us what you did setup ("postconf -n" output and the password map file
content).

The server requested simply does not offer any AUTH. That must be no
fault nor violates that any standard.

Typically ISPs offer specific mail relay hosts for their customers.
Searching google that should be mail.bellsouth.net for your provider.
Though querying that host it does not offer me AUTH. Maybe that
information from the net is outdated and you should call their support
for the requested information. But the chances are good that another
list reader has the information for you.
