This warning is logged because Postfix was NOT built with -DUSE_SASL_AUTH.
Source code fragment:
if (var_smtpd_sasl_enable)
#ifdef USE_SASL_AUTH
// Code that initializes SASL support
#else
msg_warn("%s is true, but SASL support is not compiled in",
VAR_SMTPD_SASL_ENABLE);
#endif
You can find the build configuration in the makedefs.out file,
created in the Postfix top-level source direstory, or installed as
$(postconf -h meta_directory)/makedefs.out
I recommend that you use a pre-built package for your OS distribution.
That will solve the startup problem too.
