Default postfix: smtp relayhost requires authentication

Hello.

I have fetchmail & postfix running, but am having a bit of trouble with my
SMTP relay host.

I have this in main.cf:
relayhost = smtp.myisp.com

Problem is, that smtp server requires authentication. How do I handle this
with postfix? Tried googling and didn't come up with what I need.

thx,
john
