About
503 5.5.1 Error: authentication not enabled is an error message returned by Postfix.
Another symptom is the absence of any "AUTH" lines in the response from Postfix when the client sends EHLO:

This message can appear even when smtpd_sasl_auth_enable is set to "yes" in main.cf.
Notes
The changes suggested here seemed to work, albeit with some modifications for my particular config:
