Given the function $f(x)=\sin x(\sin x+ \sqrt {3}\cos x)$, find the smallest positive period and the maximum value of $f(x)$. Also, in an acute triangle $ABC$, the sides opposite to angles $A$, $B$, and $C$ are $a$, $b$, and $c$ respectively. If $f( \frac {A}{2})=1$ and $a=2 \sqrt {3}$, find the maximum area of triangle $ABC$.
