You'll need to configure your syslog daemon to see auth.debug (or auth.*).
For example, that may be placed into a separate file such at
/var/log/auth.log. You can also increase sasl logging with 'log_level: 7'
in your sasl config.

See:

https://www.cyrusimap.org/docs/cyrus-imapd/2.4.6/install-configure.php

With your configuration, I don't see any reference to saslauthd, so I doubt
that is an issue. Verify you have proper permissions to access the sasldb
database file. If you're running postfix chrooted, it may not have access.
