You somehow borked the saslauthd init script, which has a default for 
the mechanism to use, which can be overridden by /etc/sysconfig/saslauthd.
SASLv2 then tries to fall back to default auxprop/sasldb2, which isn't 
configured (as not intended to use i guess).

Your saslauthd does not run - see above error cause.
