I am trying to setup a backup server for SENDING OUT ONLY.
Emails from mydomain.com must be sent out to the primary server instead of delivered locally.
As per my understanding for that I need to activate backupmx field and set a relay transport for mydomain.com.

For that I activated backupmx and set the transport with:

UPDATE domain SET transport='relay:[primary.mydomain.com]:25',backupmx=1 WHERE domain='mydomain.com';

Now when I try to send an email I get:
postfix/submission/smtpd[12475]: warning: unknown[10.33.33.4]: SASL LOGIN authentication failed:

And it keeps asking my for the password.
Disabling backupmx with 0, I am able to send emails to external domains. Non-existing users fail with the "Recipient address rejected: User unknown in virtual mailbox table;".

What am I missing?
