I tried to figure out how to make SASL-AUTH working with postix. After some 
digging I found that the mux-Socket does not exist within the postfix chroot. 
It can not be synced, because saslauthd creates and deletes this socket on 
start/stop.

Here is a patch. saslauthd has to be started after the postfix startup. At the 
moment they are both at S20.

/etc/init.d/saslauth

        'start')
                # Here goes the startup sequence
                [...]
                
                # Use this line or a better to determine if postix is actually 
installed
                [ -d /var/spool/postfix/ ] && mkdir -p 
/var/spool/postfix/var/run/saslauthd

                # it takes a moment to make the socket, any better solutions 
are welcome
                sleep 1

                # make the link
                ln -f /var/run/saslauthd/mux 
/var/spool/postfix/var/run/saslauthd/mux
        ;;
