That depends on how you configured SASL! If you use PAM with SASL yes 
otherwise you should not need to.

Just another solution which should work.

 To allow users' to change password on their own do I

Also depends on how you configured SASL. Its mainly a question of where you 
store your user accounts. If e.g. using auxprop mysql you could easily use a 
squirrelmail plugin which knows how to update your database. But that really 
depends on your setup!
