Yes, it is very possible, but please elaborate on the aspects of the IP
address side.
Generally, smtp authentication is applied to connections from
"untrusted" IP addresses - those that are outside your relay_from_hosts
hostlist definition.
I am wondering why you also want to restrict the authentication to
specific IP addresses. Once you explain that, we will put aside our
crystal balls and give you the answers.

For me, I believe a rule like this is enough: the skks

accept authenticated = * 
       condition     = ${if eq{$authenticated_id}{$sender_address}{yes}{no}}


If a user has given out their password to their spammer friends, then
that's a whole new ball game.
