mandrake 9.1: postfix + sasl auth

I configured and started sasl with shadow mechanism,
no problems are reported in logs and deamons starts
successful.
I configured and started postfix for usign sasl, and no
problem is reported until i try to connect to port 25,
connection is closing!
in logs i found this: no sasl authentication mechanizm
what's wrong?

Best regards

Your postfix doesn't support sasl. I'm not familiar to mandrake's
postfix-package. Maybe you have to compile postfix from the sources by
your own.

I had a similar problem with postfix and sasl and mandrake 9.2.
Initially, I had the cyrus-sasl and the postfix package installed. I
solved the problem by doing:

urpmq sasl

and then installing the other libsasl2-plug packages. I suspect Mandrake
divides the sasl module into several packages. Try installing all the
other libsasl2-plug packages and then restarting postfix.

Good Luck!
