The problem is, that smtpd runs in chroot in standard-debian-packages, so
it cannot access /var/run/saslauthd/mux. Either you move postfix out of
chroot or you link the saslauthd-socket into the chroot (only works with
hard-links, so chroot and /var/run/saslauthd must be on the same partition)
or you tell saslauthd to put the mux-file directly in the chroot.
