This is due to one or more forum members subscribing to receive email notifications for that topic, so that when someone replies to that topic an email is sent to them... The email then fails to be sent due to your forum email component not setup properly, the email component which the forum wants to use does not exist on the server, or permissions are not setup properly on the server.

To disable email notifications login with your admin account to the control panel and disable email notifications.

This 550 error is actually from the SMTP server.

What it means is that for the SMTP server you are using to relay on emails to non-local email addresses authentication on the mail server is required.

Your email settings need to include a username and password to authenticate on the mail server so it will relay on non-local emails.

Contact your SMTP server admin for more information and the correct settings.
