well you do not really need them; they are written there to ease the 
transition (if you want to allow "old" users in /etc/passwd to auth too).
If you just want to authenticate users via pam, the two lines i wrote in my 
last email are sufficient.

that's right :-) 
--> -rw-r--r--    1 cyrus    mail        12288 Jan 20 23:25 /etc/sasldb2
you don't have to list your users in that db (except the user "cyrus" which i 
assume you use to do administrative task must be in that database)

have you started "saslauthd -a pam" and installed pam_mysql? Because then you 
should see some stuff from pam_mysql in the logs.
