Authenticated SMTP relay not working if from and user don't match

Question
-
We have an Exchange 2016 and we have this issue:
- on some of our customers servers we must configure some email alerts that are sent through a SMTP connector (with STARTTLS and AUTH-LOGIN enabled)
- the destination address is To: `people@customerdomain.com`
- the SMTP user is `alert@ourcompany.com`
- if we specify `From: alert@ourcompany.it` then everything is fine
- **but** if we specify `From: alertservice@customerdomain.com` our server reports this error
:
[S] 235 2.7.0 Authentication successful
....
550 5.7.60 SMTP; Client does not have permissions to send as this sender
The error occurs both if we use a FrontendTransport receive connector or a HubTransport receive connector.
We searched for a solution but we didn't find anything.
> Is there a setting that allows to use any From: address when relaying mail for authenticated SMTP users?

This seems to solve the problem:
Get-ReceiveConnector "SERVER\Internet SMTP Connector" | Add-ADPermission -User "NT AUTHORITY\Authenticated Users" -ExtendedRights "ms-Exch-SMTP-Accept-Any-Sender"
And Internet SMTP Connector is a HubTransport connector (it doesn't work if we add the above permission on a FrontendTransport connector)

Get-ReceiveConnector "servername\connectorname" | Add-ADPermission -User "NT AUTHORITY\ANONYMOUS LOGON" -ExtendedRights "Ms-Exch-SMTP-Accept-Any-Recipient"
Try with above command.

??? That command seems to enable relay ???
(after it we can send an email to everyone without authentication)
