The SASL inititialization takes place in pre-jail code. This is not
correct:

src/smtpd/smtpd.c:

static void pre_jail_init(char *unused_name, char **unused_argv)
{

...

if (var_smtpd_sasl_enable)
#ifdef USE_SASL_AUTH
smtpd_sasl_initialize();

if (*var_smtpd_sasl_exceptions_networks)
sasl_exceptions_networks =
namadr_list_init(MATCH_FLAG_NONE,
var_smtpd_sasl_exceptions_networks);
#else
msg_warn("%s is true, but SASL support is not compiled in",
VAR_SMTPD_SASL_ENABLE);
#endif
...
}

src/smtpd/smtpd_sasl_glue.c:

void smtpd_sasl_initialize(void)
{

/*
* Initialize the library: load SASL plug-in routines, etc.
*/
if (msg_verbose)
msg_info("smtpd_sasl_initialize: SASL config file is %s.conf",
var_smtpd_sasl_appname);
if (sasl_server_init(callbacks, var_smtpd_sasl_appname) != SASL_OK)
msg_fatal("SASL per-process initialization failed");

}
