yum remove cyrus-sasl-sql

You may also create an empty /etc/sasldb2 using saslpasswd2 by adding a
dummy user first and then removing it. A better approach is to first not
offer MD5 mechs if your system can't handle them (in your case by
saslauthd).

Hint: searching the list archive would have told you that.
