Ah, success. saslauthd puts it's socket (file called "mux" in /var/lib/sasl and sasl client tries to connect in /var/state/saslauthd directory, which does not exists. A ln -s /var/lib/sasl /var/state/saslauthd will fix this.
smtp auth works again!! When in doubt, Luke, let the source be with you! I couldn't have looked though the code and fixed my own problem if this was closed source.
