Seems its plesk and not logging everything in the logs. It uses its own logging for mail, I could not find my successful login (below). The saslauthd is not running, but plesk must start use another process to do this, but its is running:
Logs are important for solving problems and tracing what happened to mail. If you can't find logs, ask on a plesk support forum.
Without proper logging, it's far more difficult to diagnose problems and offer correct solutions.
But it is running and verifies (I did this on a remote server) telnet xxx 587 Trying xxx... Connected to xxx.

This shows that postfix is listening and offering AUTH on port 587, but not much else. It would be more interesting to try to authenticate as described in SASL_README (warning: don't post base64 encoded username/password to the list; they are trivially decoded.)
I will have to check out my client as its only local to him alone. Also as I did say he runs multiple OS on the same machine and one works perfectly. Lastly digging in my logs, I found this: Apr 23 04:23:28 server postfix/smtpd[24755]: connect from unknown[xx.xx.xx.xx] Apr 23 04:23:28 server postfix/smtpd[25116]: warning: 127.0.0.1: address not listed for hostname localhost Apr 23 04:23:28 server postfix/smtpd[25116]: connect from unknown[127.0.0.1] Any idea why? Its listed in the /etc/hosts file: ::1 localhost localhost.localdomain localhost6.localdomain6 localhost6 127.0.0.1 xx.xx.xx.xx xx.xx.xx server localhost.localdomain localhost
Maybe check your /etc/nsswitch.conf? This has no relation to any other problems you may be having.
