Do you have in smtpd.conf and in imapd.conf the Authparameters set
correctly?
If you get a SUCSSESS with testsaslauthd.

in imapd.conf:
sasl_pwcheck_method: saslauthd
sasl_mech_list: PLAIN LOGIN

in smtpd.conf:
pwcheck_method: saslauthd
mech_list: login plain

and if you have a RedHat System look in /etc/sysconfig/saslauthd:
MECH=pam
