...I think you have to configure 2 postfix:
one on the machine where the hylafax.server runs on...basically every *x 
machine has a mail transfer agent running.
This MTA is configured to route the mails to the second server. this looks in 
the postfix configuration file like

relayhost = your_mail_server

and  potentially:

smtp_sasl_auth_enable = yes
smtp_sasl_security_options = noanonymous
smtp_sasl_password_maps = hash:/etc/postfix/sasl_passwd


Hope I understood your problem right. my german is not that good ;-)
