The location and name of testsasl.conf looks correct, due to the -s switch.
I'm not seeing anything that stands out as being incorrect.

You could try running sasl2-sample-server under strace, or your system's
equivalent, to determine if it is trying to communicate with saslauthd but
is failing due to permissions or path problems. It'll also show you where
it's looking for the testsasl.conf file.

You can influence where sasl2-sample-server looks for those paths by
setting 'saslauthd_path' within your .conf file, e.g.:

pwcheck_method: saslauthd
saslauthd_path: /var/run/saslauthd/mux

And using the SASL_CONF_PATH environment variable:

SASL_CONF_PATH=/usr/lib/sasl2/ sasl2-sample-server -s testsasl -m PLAIN
