"username" is one of the most misunderstood settings in sip.conf and
it's really a bad, bad, bad name. You want to set fromuser and
fromdomain together with username.

"username" has many uses, which is bad:
* One is to set a default user name that is used in combination with
default IP when we have no registration from a local peer.

* The other use is what you are trying to set up: to set authentication
username when we register and place calls to an outbound service
provider. This is always used in combination with "fromuser" and
"fromdomain".

The nat=yes setting seems redundant, it should be done on Rix telecom's
side. When you set nat=yes you tell asterisk that the *other end* is
behind nat. I do not believe a service provider run a service behind NAT.

Good luck! Lycka till!
