    What are you trying to authenticate against ? You have set saslauthd to
    use shadow, whilst auxprop will use sasldb.

    If you are trying to authenticate against shadow use

       /usr/lib/sasl2/smtpd.conf:
            pwcheck_method: saslauthd

    or

        /usr/lib/sasl2/smtpd.conf:
            pwcheck_method: auxprop

    but turn off saslauthd. The link below has more details
