For the Mandrake 9.0 and 9.1 use /usr/lib/sasl.

This one depens on your selected authentication method. Sasl supports plain, 
login, digest-md5 and cram-md5 (at least). with digest/cram-md5 sasl always 
uses the sasldb. This is independent of the setting in your smtp.conf file. 
Only for plain text passwords, sasl is able to use all the alternative 
pwcheck_methods.

Try it with a plain password. Remove the user from the sasldb file. Use 
saslauthd instead of pwcheck.
