    Apr 19 19:53:19 fast postfix/smtpd[7367]: connect from unknown[XX.XX.XX.XX]
    Apr 19 19:53:22 fast postfix/smtpd[7367]: warning: unknown[XX.XX.XX.XX]: SASL PLAIN authentication failed
    Apr 19 19:53:28 fast postfix/smtpd[7367]: warning: unknown[XX.XX.XX.XX]: SASL LOGIN authentication failed
    Apr 19 19:53:35 fast postfix/smtpd[7367]: lost connection after AUTH from unknown[XX.XX.XX.XX]
    Apr 19 19:53:35 fast postfix/smtpd[7367]: disconnect from unknown[XX.XX.XX.XX]
    
    
    from main.cf
    Code:
    smtpd_sasl_auth_enable = yes
    smtpd_sasl_security_options = noanonymous
    smtpd_sasl_local_domain = munem.it-box.org
    broken_sasl_auth_clients = yes
    
    smtpd_recipient_restrictions =
       permit_sasl_authenticated,
       permit_mynetworks,
       check_relay_domains
    
    netstat -tap
    Code:
    tcp        0      0 *:pop3                  *:*                     LISTEN      31803/xinetd
    tcp        0      0 *:smtp                  *:*                     LISTEN      1552/master
    tcp        0      0 *:pop3s                 *:*                     LISTEN      31803/xinetd
    
    
    /etc/postfix/sasl/smtpd.conf
    Code:
    pwcheck_method: saslauthd
    mech_list: login plain
    
    ps auxw | grep sasl
    Code:
    root      1447  0.0  0.0  2136  660 ?        S    Apr17   0:00 /usr/sbin/saslauthd -m /var/run/saslauthd/mux -a shadow

    Have you tried with pam?
    Which distribution do you use? Did you follow any of the "Perfect Setup" tutorials on HowtoForge?

    I had simular problem.
    The solution was to change

    smtpd_sasl_local_domain = munem.it-box.org

    to

    smtpd_sasl_local_domain =

    or simply just comment it out.
