Why would dovecot not be answering

[Ruben Safir]

I am really lost as to why dovecot is not authenticating

I have 

smtpd_sasl_type = dovecot

in main.cf

and 

# Postfix smtp-auth
unix_listener /var/spool/postfix/private/auth {
 mode = 0666
 user = postfix
 group = postfix
}
in /etc/dovecot/conf.d/10-master.conf


I want it to authenticate on submition only

Everything I read says this should do it, but I am up against a wall.  I
have no debugging information or log at all to confirm what postfix is
doing.
