i added the following lines to /etc/mail/<your.hostname.here>.mc:

define(`SMART_HOST',`your.isp.smart.host')dnl
define(`confAUTH_MECHANISMS', `LOGIN PLAIN')dnl
FEATURE(`authinfo',`hash /etc/mail/auth/client-info')dnl

then i created the dir /etc/mail/auth with mode 700 and the
file client-info with mode 600.

client-info has the following content:

AuthInfo:your.isp.smart.host "U:username" "I:username" "P:password" "M:PLAI=
N"

this worked for me.
