Well, part of the thread was the problems he was having setting up
SASL to work with the connection. Gmail does not like plain text
user name/password when connecting to their server.

I didn't realize that Postfix uses SASL nomenclature to define outbound
smtp authentication which really isn't using SASL at all but rather is
just using SSL and/or TLS for the provided user/password and whatever
internal technology Gmail uses is not relevant or transparent to the
person/server that is authenticating beyond the SSL/TLS protocols.
It seems to me that Postfix is just creating confusion by calling it
SASL.
