The postfix smtpd binary (with libsasl linked in) can't find the named
pipe through which it asks saslauthd if the credentials are valid.
Basically smtpd is chrooted, so the '/' in
saslauthd_path:/var/run/saslauthd/mux really means /var/spool/postfix.
You have two solutions, depending on what you want :
Solution A :
Change the line
smtp inet n - - - - smtpd
to
smtp inet n - n - - smtpd
in /etc/postfix/master.cf. (don't run smtpd chrooted)
Solution B :
Add the lines
# put the pipe in postfix' chroot directory
PARAMS="-O /etc/saslauthd.conf -m /var/spool/postfix/var/run/saslauthd"
to /etc/default/saslauthd.
(you might also need to create that directory)
