Thanks, I have tried various combinations:

smtp.comcast.net:587
smtp.comcast.net:submission
[smtp.comcast.net]:587
[smtp.comcast.net]:submission

in main.cf and sasl_passwd.

Contradicting the postfix sasl howto, if I specify the port in main.cf and
leave it off in sasl_passwd (with or without square brackets in both), I
no longer get the error message that smtp.comcast.net is not found.

main.cf:

relayhost = [smtp.comcast.net]:587

sasl_passwd:

smtp.comcast.net <user>:<passwd>

I run postmap hash and restart postfix. Then, (using submission or 587),
it logs:

...
