I see user level authentication as being a MUST for any next generation mail system. (If all MTAs/MUAs supported SMTP authentication now, life would be a lot easier for everyone)

Hear hear!

If there is a way to securely automatic this? without signficantly delaying or obstructing the delivery of mail?

Yes, probably, using DNSSEC.

But DNSSEC isn't quite there yet, and I'm starting to wonder whether it ever will be quite there...
