I'm not sure what steps you have taken to get this setup, but I found
http://lists.q-linux.com/pipermail/plug/2003-July/029503.html very helpful.
it looks like you have at least copied /var/run/saslauthd
to /var/spool/postfix/var/run/.
Did you also then make /var/run/saslauthd a symlink to postfix's chroot?
Did you edit /etc/postfix/sasl/smtpd.conf to contain the authentication
methods?
etc.
I hope this helps,
Josh
