Did you test LMTP-Authentication at the Backend?

Looks like a SASL-Configuration Issue.

How did you configure SASL/saslauthd?

Check if proxy_authname with *_password from the Frontend Configuration is
able to login via LMTP.

Maybe you are using pam and should configure the file for lmtp as well as
for imap.
