They communicate via unix domain sockets.  There should be a testsaslauthd
binary that you can compile in the sasl distribution, something like

in sasl-2.1.x/saslauthd:
make testsaslauthd
./testsaslauthd -u username -p password

If you are getting "unknown password verifier" that implies to me that for
whatever reason the library that imapd is using was not built with
--with-saslauthd (or there is a misspelling somewhere, like the conf
file).
