The documentation for authorized_submit_users states:

,----[ postconf(5) ]
| Otherwise, the real UID of the process is looked up in the system
| password file, and access is granted only if the corresponding login
| name is on the access list.
`----

Does that literally refer to the password file, e.g. "/etc/passwd"? It
seems to work here with users provided by other means (LDAP). Is it
supported to state users here which are not in "/etc/passwd" (or
whatever the system passwd file might be)?

This refers to the system library getpwuid(3) function.
