Just follow the instructions in
http://wiki2.dovecot.org/HowTo/PostfixDovecotLMTP and it should just
work(TM).

In case you want to use the Dovecots SASL implementation instead of
Cyrus' (http://wiki2.dovecot.org/HowTo/PostfixAndDovecotSASL), I did
additionally add this to my Postfix main.cf
----
smtp_sasl_type = dovecot
lmtp_sasl_type = dovecot
smtpd_sasl_type = dovecot
smtpd_sasl_path = private/auth
----
