I see that Yast has 'Outgoing Mail' and 'Authentication' option in it.
Is this what I want to make SMTP-AUTH ? All need just to make this
server (postfix) can be use for our employee outside my network.

You will need to also start saslauthd, and I would agree you should
setup more than just authentication, you should also setup ssl encrypted
connections to encrypt the login credentials used to authenticate, so
also use TLS. A working setup can be gotten from using Yast. More
advanced tweaking can be added by adding POSTFIX_ADD_ variables to
/etc/sysconfig/postfix and you keep the convenience of Yast, with extra
perks.
