You may need to (as Mike noted) get RPMs from another source to have
SASL support in postfix.  I'm using SASL for SMTP Auth with Postfix, done
over TLS using the RPMs from:

http://www.pobox.com/~sjmudd/postfix/ftp/SRPMS/

I've built 1.1.11 with TLS, PCRE and SASL support...

You'll need to do a couple of things to get SASL working:

1. Set your /usr/lib/sasl/smtpd.conf to say either:

pwcheck_method: sasldb

or

pwcheck_method: pam

In either event, you'll have to change postfix's master.cf to pull the
smtpd out of the chroot jail.

If you go the sasldb route, you can setup your users with something like:

saslpasswd -c -u `postconf -h myhostname` -a smtpauth username

Make sure you then do something like:

chown root.postfix /etc/sasldb
chmod 640 /etc/sasldb

If you go the PAM route, you'll need to let the smtpd process have read
access to /etc/shadow, perhaps by changing the group ownership on 
/etc/shadow to "postfix", and permissions to 640.

Also, if you setup SMTP Auth, make sure you also setup TLS, and in 
particular require users that are doing SMTP Auth to also be using TLS.
