Well, I thought that too.

My saslauthd.conf has this line

OPTIONS="-c -m /var/spool/postfix/var/run/saslauthd"

whereas /etc/postfix/sasl/smtp.conf

has

saslauthd_path: /var/run/saslauthd

which whould be correct for chroot, no?

I did change that to

saslauthd_path: /var/spool/postfix/var/run/saslauthd

and tried again and that didn't work either

your are probably on the right track though

OTOH

root at collab:# sudo -u postfix testsaslauthd -f
/var/spool/postfix/var/run/saslauthd/mux -u xxxxxxx -p xyz
0: OK "Success."

worked ....

:(

thanks!
