Dec  7 14:29:25 server1 postfix/smtpd[20971]: cannot load Certificate Authority data: disabling TLS support
Dec  7 14:29:25 server1 postfix/smtpd[20971]: warning: TLS library problem: error:02001002:system library:fopen:No such file or directory:bss_file.c:169:fopen('/etc/ssl/certs/cacert.pem','r'):

This indicates that you haven't set up TLS properly. Did you generate
certificates and place them in the location above? (The location can be
configured if you put them elsewhere.) Follow the steps for setting up
saslauthd with Postfix here:

Dec  7 14:29:25 server1 postfix/smtpd[20971]: warning: hostname 12-43-230-181.cab.prima.com.ar does not resolve to address 181.230.43.12: Name or service not known
Dec  7 14:29:25 server1 postfix/smtpd[20971]: connect from unknown[181.230.43.12]

This means that DNS lookup failed, it is just a warning and not
critical at the moment.

But both of these mean that you connected to the service. The question
is where you connected _from_ - you need to do this from outside the
ISP's network to confirm whether or not they block ports.
