Package: sasl2-bin
Version: 2.1.19.dfsg1-0.5
Distribution: testing
This morning I installed the new sasl2-bin package from the testing
distribution. After the upgrade I even tried to reboot the system, but
authentcated smtp fails with Postfix (version 2.3.3-1). The following is
shown in /var/log/syslog:

Excellent! This confirms my suspicion about this actually being a
postfix error. Postfix should be setting the plugin configuration path
to /etc/postfix/sasl, but for some reason it doesn't.
Postfix has a new version which should fix this issue: 2.3.4-3, which is
in unstable now. I'm closing this bug (merging it with the postfix bugs
would just add more clutter, so I'm not doing that).
Please note that the correct location for smtpd.conf
*is* /etc/postfix/sasl as documented -- but that will only work once you
install the fixed postfix. Your current setup will break when postfix is
fixed, so keep your eyes open when upgrading postfix!

No, you're right. The information above was enough to pinpoint the
issue.
Thank you Arno and Matthias!
