bullshit and to be honest nobody right in his mind aware of the 
capabilities configures cyrus-sasl on a server where postfix and dovecot 
are running already instead just use one common auth layer for incoming 
and outgoing mail supporting the same mechs and configuration

http://wiki2.dovecot.org/HowTo/PostfixAndDovecotSASL


# configure backend for postfix sasl-auth
service auth {
   unix_listener /var/spool/postfix/private/auth {
   mode                         = 0660
   user                         = postfix
   group                        = postfix
  }
}


smtpd_sasl_type = dovecot
smtpd_sasl_path = private/auth
