I need auth to send email, and possibly give the users the possibility

Postfix supports server SASL via either dovecot or cyrus.
You can see which your installation supports with
#postconf -a
I recommend dovecot since it is much easier to set up, and supports
numerous authentication backends including system (PAM), mysql, LDAP, or
arbitrary files.
This capability is not dependent on the existence of mailboxes (which
postfix doesn't partticularly care about anyway), but only on the SASL
provider's willingness to authenticate.
SASL does not provide for the ability to change passwords.
