By default, Postfix has
smtpd_sasl_type = cyrus
Why don't you set
smtpd_sasl_type = dovecot
and follow SASL_README instructions to configure Postfix as if it
will use Dovecot?
The only interaction betweeen Postfix and Dovecot is to get a list
of authentication mechanisms, which Postfix wlll never use. I think
that is a small sacrifice to make if you want to use Postfix in a
manner that has never been tried before.
