Well here we use a script which reads in a short interval the 
users/passwords out from a mysql database and creates the SASLv1 file. 
With this it doesn't matter if the MySQL server is down once ...

Well you just need to configure mysql to put the socket in the 
/var/spool/postfix directory. Could be a problem though if you run MySQL 
also chrooted :-)
