RTFM, please.
The Postfix SASL_README file says:
Communication between the Postfix SMTP server and Dovecot
SASL happens via a UNIX-domain socket.
Support for inet: is NOT DOCUMENTED. It may disappear any time.
There is no promise nowhere that this actually works.
You use NOT DOCUMENTED settings at your own risk. I have no plans
to I write warnings for settings that are NOT DOCUMENTED.
