Not at all. You don't need either. Both will add complexity and additional points of failure and it may only deem useful with a relatively large userbase and large volumes of email. You may prefer to leave out both mysql and ldap, get your setup to work without problems and then start adding these features in case you need it. LDAP is used to check for valid local mailboxes, but the MTA already does that and sends a 5xx error to the sending MTA if it is invalid (at least a proper MTA like exim does), so this functionality is already present. I am not exactly sure what the mysql backend is used for but I assume it is to store assp settings and the bayesian database and such. Maybe it stores individual settings on a per user basis. It's up to you if you need this.
