May 10 09:17:42 smtp01 postfix/smtpd[21033]: warning: SASL
authentication failure: cannot connect to saslauthd server: No such file
or directory

this is a problem

/var/run/saslauthd is present - yes
/var/spool/postfix/var/run/saslauthd is present - yes

Is one dir link to another?
Do you see any files there?

It seems like both of them are "their own files" - none of them are symlinked to anything

/var/run:
drwx--x---  2 root   sasl     140 May 10 09:17 saslauthd

/var/spool/postfix/var/run
drwxr-xr-x 2 root sasl 4096 May 10 09:10 saslauthd

So there is defintely something going on here. I guess that /var/spool/postfix/var/run/saslauthd should be a symlink to /var/run/saslauthd ?

Run saslauthd from the command line with the "-d" argument: it should print the name of the socket it listens to or use
tool like "ss" to check the socket.

saslauthd -d did not print the socket in use sadly.
ss - I only found one socket being in use - /var/run/saslauthd

I wonder, should a symlink from /var/run/saslauthd to /var/spool/postfix/var/run/saslauthd ?

Thank you
