I suggest looking at
% ldd /usr/libexec/postfix/smtp
and examining all the libraries referenced.
Perhaps the update has introduced a new library-to-library dependency,
such as a new LDAP library dependency on a different SASL library
than Postfix wants. Dependencies may also be introduced via
nsswitch.conf; those don't show up in ldd output.
Kernel APIs don't change randomly.
