Hi Simon,

Postfix SASL is your friend.  See
http://www.postfix.org/SASL_README.html you need the section "Enabling
SASL authentication in the Postfix SMTP client" which allows you to
specify a username for each machine used to deliver mail to.

e.g.
transports.cf:
domain smtp:nexthop:25

saslpw.cf:
nexthop username:password
