[BlueOnyx:27257] Disabling plain text login for Postfix

Working with a customer on a 5210R box, they've had a PCI scan fail due 
to allowing plaintext authentication over port 25.    No matter that 
they don't process credit cards over port 25... anyhow....

Is there a recommended method for disabling plaintext authentication in 
Postfix (or Dovecot if Postfix is using Dovecot's auth?)

Also getting dinged for the mailserver (on TCP 25, 465 and 587) allowing 
anonymous authentication.   The recommendation? Literally "Disable 
support for anonymous authentication to mitigate this 
vulnerability."     Not sure how to proceed with that under BlueOnyx.
