do you want your postfix to authenticate to other servers? if not, you don't need smtp_sasl_password_maps. if you need that, then you'll have to add cyrus-sasl support (keep using dovecot for user authentication though). and last time I checked, myslq passwords need to be stored in clear text if your cyrus-sasl accesses mysql directly (as usual, I am ignoring unsupported patches). once again, this map is for login:password pairs that are supplied by your postfix to _other_ servers (not passwords that users supply to your postfix). and in most cases, these have nothing to do with the passwords that dovecot uses....
