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.

Actually, it uses the SASL library as well.
