You really should have mentioned that before we wasted our time on it.

In your RCPT ACL, check any accept clauses that are specific to
authenticated or local submission. In the default config, these are:

at the top...
accept hosts = :

and then near the bottom...
   accept  hosts         = +relay_from_hosts


accept authenticated = *

To each of these accept clauses (but none of the others, which accept
mail from remote hosts for local destinations), add:

           control = submission
