According to cyrus-sasl-2.1.21/doc/sysadmin.html:

If you are using the PAM method to verify passwords with saslauthd, keep
in mind that your PAM configuration will need to be configured for each
service name that is using saslauthd for authentication.  Common service
names are "imap", "sieve", and "smtp".

Also, make sure you read postfix-2.2.5/README_FILES/SASL_README
especially where it says:

IMPORTANT: all users must be able to authenticate using ALL
authentication mechanisms advertised by Postfix, otherwise the
negotiation might end up with an unsupported mechanism, and
authentication would fail.

grepping for PAM in both the postfix and the sasl source trees yields
much information.
