It tries to detect PAM automatically. Running configure should list it in
passdb list. If it doesn't, you could check from config.log if there's some
errors about PAM.

Well, cyrus-sasl2 doesn't actually work at all and you shouldn't really use
the debugging, that's mostly meant for my own use :) --enable-debug adds a
lot of unnecessary things just so that I can quickly notice if I break some
things.
