What do you mean? If you want SASL2 support in Postfix, build Postfix
with SASL support enabled. If you want LDAP support in SASL2, build
SASL2 with LDAP support enabled.

Via auxprop you can authentication against e.g. LDAP, MySQL,
and PostgreSQL databases.

Yes, if you configure SASL to lookup credentials in LDAP you must store
the credentials in LDAP.

That depends on how and what you want to access via LDAP. You have not
explained the problem you are trying to solve.
