It means exactly what it says. smtpd can't access saslauthd socket. This socket is probably in /var/run/saslauthd if smtpd is not chrooted, and /var/spool/postfix/var/run/saslauthd if smtpd is chrooted. Once you find it, check ownership and permissions of that file as well as those of its parent directories. PS. next time, please use google before asking.
