Thats up to you: if you use "file" (recommended), then, upon table
changes, you have to restart smtpd(8) to read the new contents OR use
"smtpctl(8) update table ".
If you use "db", then you have to run makemap(8) on your file, which
produces a .db, which should be referenced in smtpd.conf.
In this case after running makemap smtpd has the new contents.

"passwd" would be the NAME of your table which you should use in your
smtpd.conf if you want to auth, untested example, taken right from
smtpd.conf(5):
listen on egress auth

Nope!
With OpenBSD software it's more like: If not in manual, then not
in code.
Neither table(5) nor smtpd.conf(5) contain the string "passwd".
But you can use it as a name you want to use.
