All other options require writing Postfix code, or having Postfix
send through an SMTP proxy.
There is SASL code that Peter Biering wrote way back when. It should
plug in neatly into Postfix's XSASL interface. Thanks to the XSASL
layer, Postfix can choose between Dovecot and Cyrus SASL without
having to patch Postfix source all over the place.
Unfortunately, I cannot make the time to port Peter's code to the
XSASL interface and do the quality assurance that Postfix requires.
