I've not added:

"saslauthd_path: /var/run/saslauthd/mux"

to my /etc/postfix/sasl/smtpd.conf and I get a different error:

"warning: SASL authentication failure: cannot connect to saslauthd 
server: Permission denied"

/var/run/saslauthd is the right location I believe as my smtpd is not 
chrooted
