Sorry, can't help with yast settings, I always configure the Postfix
config files directly.

Here's what I can see:

yast -> Network Services -> Mail Transfer Agent -> Permanent ->

Outgoing mail server      [mail.example.com]:587
Authentication: ->
      Outgoing Server     [mail.example.com]:587
      user name           user
      password            password


That should give you the following output from "postconf -n":

....
relayhost = [mail.example.com]:587
smtp_sasl_auth_enable = yes
smtp_sasl_password_maps = hash:/etc/postfix/sasl_passwd
smtp_sasl_security_options = noanonymous
...

/etc/postfix/sasl_passwd:
[mail.example.com]:587  user:password

You must have the cyrus-sasl package installed otherwise Postfix is unable
to find suitable authentication mechanisms.
