Found the solution and it may be interesting for other users:
I have to use sasl for authentification at my ISP's SMTP server. Now 
during installation I saw that sasl was automagically marked for 
install when I selected postfix to be installed.

I'd never thought that sasl will be installed but not the libsasl-plugin 
which is essential to sasl. The plugin is on CD3 and urpmi installs it 
without problem. No further configuring, right after I installed the 
plugin everything worked.

How can MandrakeSoft forget this dependency?

I only know this because I read the paper on using sasl with postfix at 
MandrakeSecure. It's written there as prerequisite for installation of 
sasl. 

This small problem kept me up the longer part of the night!
