This will make Postfix authenticate to ANOTHER server, in other words, it is
cthe client side, when Postfix is sending mail for example to a relayserver.

In your case you want the server side of Postfix to offer authentication.
The easiest way is to set up local users on your Postfix server, but don't
give them a login shell.

Then configure Postfix for sasl authentication.
