They wont, unless you configure it. If these machines are on a
physically controlled network (usually like 192.168*, you could remove
the SMTP AUTH stuff, set host_accept_relay = 192.168.0.0/16..

SMTP AUTH is mainly for clients connecting from roaming locations, where
you can count on the IP to prove who they are, so instead you require a
password.
