I agree. Which is why postfix can be configured for that:

# cat /etc/postfix/main.cf
[ ... ]
relayhost = mx.example.com
smtp_sasl_auth_enable = yes
smtp_sasl_password_maps = hash:/etc/postfix/saslpw
smtp_sasl_security_options =
[ ... ]

# cat /etc/postfix/saslpw
mx.example.com thomas@example.com:MySuPeRpAsS

Isn't this what the smarthost option of postfix does (I do this by
hand)? If we don't have it, it'd be easy to implement anyway.
