Where is that? It should be no earlier than the "MAIL FROM" ACL
(acl_smtp_mail).

Try this:

known_users:
accept hosts = +relay_hosts
accept authenticated = *
[...accepts for other kinds of users...]

check_sender:
  accept  condition = ${if eq {$interface_port}{587}}
          endpass
          message = Only authorised users may use the submission port.
          acl = known_users


Without "endpass", which is semi-deprecated (not "best practice"), the
check_sender ACL can be written as

check_sender:
  accept  condition = ${if eq {$interface_port}{587}}
          acl = known_users
  deny    message = Only authorised users may use the submission port.
          condition = ${if eq {$interface_port}{587}}


or if you want to allow submission on port 25, delete the first condition.

I find a sub-ACL very useful here.

By the way, have you considered dropping POP-before-SMTP support? Many ISPs
and web hotels have done that since it's less reliable than SMTP AUTH, which
nearly all mail clients support nowadays.
