I may be wrong, but I believe that's because the CRAM-MD5 auth mechanism 
requires sasldb (at least according to the googling I just did).  The "unable 
to find a callback" portion of the error suggests that this auth mechanism 
isn't configured properly so saslauthd isn't actually doing anything, hence not 
logging (though I may well be wrong -- I don't use MD5 logins).

Do you require this auth mechanism enabled?  If not, you should consider just 
using PLAIN and LOGIN, making sure that TLS is enabled and required.

If you do require CRAM-MD5, then hopefully someone else can help...

Cheers.
