Please don't top post. If you don't know what that means, Google for it.

If the OP has 'dovecot' all ready installed, that might be a viable
option. Otherwise, he would be better off to simply configure SASL2
correctly.

I would strongly recommend that the OP reads the Postfix documentation
on SASL as well as visiting:
http://postfix.state-of-mind.de/patrick.koetter/saslfinger/ and
downloading and running the 'saslfinger' utility. He can then post the
output preferably the Postfix forum, or else here.

 Hi all,
 
 I have compiled postfix with the SASL2 option. After creating the
 saslpass file, I added the appropriate lines to main.cf:
 
 smtp_sasl_auth_enable = yes
 smtp_sasl_password_maps = hash:/usr/local/etc/postfix/saslpass
 smtp_sasl_security_options =
 
 and restarted postfix.
 
 However, when I try to send an email, I see these lines in maillog:
 
 Sep 19 15:07:19 venus postfix/smtp[75188]: warning: unsupported SASL
 client implementation: cyrus
 Sep 19 15:07:19 venus postfix/smtp[75188]: fatal: SASL library
 initialization
 
 Also, postconf -A doesn't return anything. FWIW, postconf -a
 returns dovecot.
 
 Any ideas what is going wrong here?
 
 versions: 
 postfix-2.6.5,1
 cyrus-sasl-2.1.23 
 FreeBSD 7.0

This question really belongs on the Postfix forum. In any case:

1) Post the complete output of postconf -n
2) Post the contents of: /usr/local/lib/sasl2/smtpd.conf
3) Please check: http://www.postfix.org/SASL_README.html
4) Post the output of a telnet session to your mail server

In the mail/postfix directory, do a make rmconfig then redo the
config; i.e., make config. Be sure to enable SASL2. You also will
probably need to enable a database format; i.e.,berkley, MySql or
whatever you intend to use. If you ever intend to use TLS/SSL, now
would be the time to enable it. Then do:

make clean  make deinstall  make reinstall  make distclean

Check again with a telnet session and post the output if it still does
not work.

Please, check the URL I sent previously. You have SASL2
configured incorrectly. It needs the smtpd.conf file to work correctly.
There is an abundance of documentation of the Postfix site describing
how to configure the file. Start with the URL I sent you.

You really should post on the Postfix forum for best results also.

use dovecot . . . I spent days trying to get postfix configured with cyrus
sasl, tweaking everything I could think of multiple times, and I still
couldn't get it to work.  Tried dovecot and had everything working in 10
