Hi Jacky,

Your question belongs to postfix mailinng list.

Anyway, the last time I was playing with postfix (I am an Exim user
normally), I had to check that:
smtpd_sasl_path = /var/run/dovecot/auth-client

..the socket is readable by the postfix user:

So, check 10-master.conf for the socket. Something like:

# Postfix smtp-auth
  unix_listener  var/run/dovecot/auth-client  {
    mode = 0666
  }

Restart dovecot and see...
