This is my /etc/hosts file

127.0.0.1       localhost.localdomain                   localhost
127.0.1.1       ubuntu-server.xx.com                ubuntu-server
193.77.xx.xx   mail.xx.com                         mail

# The following lines are desirable for IPv6 capable hosts
::1     ip6-localhost ip6-loopback
fe00::0 ip6-localnet
ff00::0 ip6-mcastprefix
ff02::1 ip6-allnodes
ff02::2 ip6-allrouters

is this correct configuration for my mail server. I am behind router so i don't know if is ok to use my IP for mail.xx.com and 127.0.0.1 for localhost

problem is that i can receive mail but when i send it i get

Oct 17 21:29:32 ubuntu-server postfix/smtpd[2453]: warning: my.router[192.168.1.1]: SASL PLAIN authentication failed: authentication failure

Cannot find the smtp_sasl_password_maps parameter in main.cf.
Client-side SMTP AUTH cannot work without this parameter!
