Yes, yesterday I invetigated this a little bit further and found that a
Config-File for pluginviewer was missing. Something like

/usr/lib/sasl2/pluginviewer.conf

sql_select: dummy
ldapdb_uri: dummy

Then all Plugins are shown. Maybe something to add to "man pluginviewer"?

Hmm, btw. it would be not uninteresting to see which sql-Backends are
compiled in the sql-Plugin. Maybe something for 2.1.23?
