Email SMTP Auth Problems ( Relay Lock ?)

I just started having an email problem recently...

When I go to try to send mail using SMTP Authentication, it fails, however it seems that without authentication (maybe it is doing POP, not sure), the mail goes through.

Here's my mail log (/usr/local/psa/var/log/maillog) when I try to send using SMTP with Auth, there's not much there.. relay lock isn't much help to me:

Code:
Sep 17 01:09:35 sh1 relaylock: /var/qmail/bin/relaylock: mail from 65.188.133.252:62974 (cpe-065-188-133-252.triad.res.rr.com)


Now the interesting part:

Here's when I send without SMTP auth in my email client... obviously, SMTP Auth is preferred. I am puzzled why it works without SMTP Auth as well.

It might be because I have POP3 Locktime enabled, but it sent without that enabled also. I am not using any SPF options. No Dr. Web but yes to Spam Assassin.

(Note: XXXX is actualy "marc" in real life but i replaced to ward of spam bots) smartymail.org is on plesk and is the account I am sending from, where belews.net is on a 3rd party (GMAIL) server.

Code:
Sep 17 01:07:27 sh1 relaylock: /var/qmail/bin/relaylock: mail from 65.188.133.252:62964 (cpe-065-188-133-252.triad.res.rr.com)
