Forcing *remote* clients to authenticate is a side effect of shuting
down promiscuous relaying, assuming you have added an "accept" stanza
to your RCPT ACL for authenticated connections. Authenticating
should be the only way an outside client can get a relay message
accepted.
If you want to force authentication for *all* relaying, just
eliminate your current "accept" clause that accepts any message from
the your local network ("relay_from_hosts").
Obviously, you don't want to require remote clients to authenticate
to deliver mail to local addresses unless this is an outbound-only
server (which it is not, in your case).
