If you're posting in HTML, don't - all your formatting is stripped by
the list's MLM and your post converted to plain text (if it had no
text/plain part to begin with). Anyway:

Your server is doing sender callout verification, and the smarthost is
rejecting it because it requires authentication. Either turn off the
callout, or (more correctly) accept mails from the null sender on the
smarthost. Not doing so could see you listed in dsn.rfc-ignorant.org:
