OWA login requires "domain\username". How to login wit "username" only?

When logging on to my exchange 2007 server OWA, I need to enter "domain\username", I want to be able to log in by using "username" alone.
So here is how I did that:
Open Exchange Management Console, expand Server Configuration and find Outlook Web Access tab in Client Access. Double click "OWA (Default Web Site)" and go to Authentication tab. Uncheck "Integrated Windows authentication" box (screenshot) and click OK.
Open your webmail and try to log in without specifying a "domain\" in your User Name.

User was getting this error code on his mobile device when trying to synchronize.
Temporary solution achieved by disabling Windows Authentication (screenshot) for Microsoft-Server-ActiveSync in IIS Manager.

Users unable to send mail via outlook (550 5.7.1 Client does not have permissions to send as this sender)

Had this problem on my exchange 2007 server (hub transport role) for a long time.
Some users could receive mail, but when trying to send using POP3 or IMAP outlook account they got '550 5.7.1 Client does not have permissions to send as this sender' error. They could send and receive emails fine when logged into OWA.
This problem seems to have something with SMTP authentication, the workaround I was using was letting those users to open relay on my server, but recently my server started sending spam so I was forced to look for solution to this problem once again (I've tried to resolve this problem before, but unsuccessfully).

I had configured send connector, also receive connector, but nothing seemed to work. Today browsing the web for answer I think I finally got it to work.

Following information found on the web I've opened Exchange Management Shell and ran this cmdlet:
get-receiveconnector "receive_connector_name" | add-adpermission -user AU -extendedrights ms-Exch-SMTP-Accept-Authoritative-Domain-Sender

Tried to send email again and it disappeared from the outbox.
