You are using this chain:
postfix -> libsasl -> saslauthd -> pam -> pam_mysql
However you configured /usr/lib64/sasl2/smtpd.conf to go this way:
postfix -> libsasl -> mysql
Try this in /usr/lib64/sasl2/smtpd.conf:
pwcheck_method: saslauthd
mech_list: plain login
> -- content of /usr/local/lib/sasl2/smtpd.conf --
remove /usr/local/lib/sasl2/smtpd.conf. You should not need it.
