mouss's response wasn't snide, people constantly complain to this
list about problems without providing the information that makes it
possible to determine the problem.
You may not see the relevance of some of the information in /var/log/
maillog, but if you did, then you would probably know what the
problem is, and could solve it yourself.
This is, to paraphrase others, a find the hidden assumption that is
the problem problem. Your assuming the only problem is "warning: SASL
authentication failure: cannot connect to saslauthd server: No such
file or directory", perhaps the line before/after this tells us what
file postfix can't find? or some other useful information.

Post full information (obscure host/domain names if you must) then we
can help you try to fix your problem.
