IMO it seems like maybe postfix should require libsasl2-modules, the
300kB is well spent if you're installing postfix, rather than silently
failing.

Is Debian SASL support usable at all, without installing libsasl2-modules?

libsasl2-modules is hard dependency in Debian, you can't install postfix without it.

libsasl2-modules provides modules for sasl authentication, postfix works without it, cyrus-based authentication (client or server-size) does not.

Dovecot-based (server-side only) authentication works without this.
so I don't wonder why postfix' dependence on it is relaxed to Suggests:
(Recommends: are installed by default, you can disable it)


I have described my sasl configuration on postfix 8-10 at:
https://marc.info/?l=postfix-users&m=165417746525497&w=2
coming from Debian wiki:
https://wiki.debian.org/PostfixAndSASL#Implementation_using_Cyrus_SASL


There were many sasl-related changes since that, but the wiki seems to be updated using that info.

Unfortunately, the only server using sasl client authentication I maintained was decommissioned about a year ago, I'm not sure if I can find backup (there's a chance)


Seems that Greg (OP) missed setting cyrus_sasl_config_path and creating /etc/postfix/sasl/smtpd.conf with proper settings.

Greg, can you test and report if those changes help you?
