potatochip: you first installed the 2.1.23 (which is the version that WORKS) and then you overwrote some of the files and links by compiling and installing 2.1.25 (the output of your saslauthd shows 2.1.25 is what's installed).
Go back into your 2.1.25 source, make uninstall, then run dpkg -i --force-all *.deb again with the download files. Then restart saslauthd and postfix and you should be up.
