You can test your config from your own server ussing the command Nico

This is what is supposed to happen, you want to receive mail for your
locally hosted domains dont you ?

Are you using TLS encription when sending those mails ? Your acl_smtp_auth
forces the use of encryption in order to accept and authentication attemp.
If you dont want this to happen just leave acl_smtp_auth unset.

What type of domains are listed on relay_to_domains, domains that you host
mail for? then your current config seems correct for me.
