One important difference is that testsaslauthd probably does not use the
glue (libsasl2) library. Can you try the sample-server/sample-client
utilities to see if they work? You will need to create a <./configure
--with-configdir path>/sample.conf file with 'pwcheck_method: saslauthd'.

Do you see anything useful in your syslog's auth facility output? Try
increasing your log_level:

log_level: 7

in your sasl smtpd.conf. Also, verify that your ./configure
--with-configdir path has not changed between versions or, if you're using
a debian based postfix (which overrides the --with-configdir path), that
your smtpd.conf exists in <postfix config dir>/sasl/.

Does saslfinger raise any red flags?
