saslauthd, by default, authenticates against the local unix databases, I 
think. (I'm not positive which is why I'm posting to the list, so 
someone can correct me.) You need something like:

sasl_pwcheck_method: auxprop
sasl_auxprop_plugin: sasldb
sasl_mech_list: PLAIN
sasl_sasldb_path: /etc/sasldb2

instead.
