I think you need to set this in the ../postfix/main.cf file:

	smtp_tls_loglevel = 3

In my /usr/local/lib/sasl2/smtpd.conf file I had:

	log-level: 4

but it was not working either until I made the change. This is on a 
FreeBSD-6.1 system, so YMMV.

BTW, I see you got a hit on the Postfix forum. You might be able to change 
how you are authenticating, but I am not sure. I use Saslauthd and that 
does not allow MD5 encryption.
