I did not have it in the config file. I never used that on the old server.
I now put the lines in, having now:
smtpd_sasl_type = dovecot
smtpd_sasl_path = private/auth

But it did not lead to a success, with error:

Mar 31 12:29:31 mauser postfix/smtpd[17530]: warning: SASL: Connect to  
private/auth failed: No such file or directory
Mar 31 12:29:31 mauser postfix/smtpd[17530]: fatal: no SASL  
authentication mechanisms

Wouldnt that have an effect all users?
Hm. In which files I would usually look to compare? Shouldnt there be  
an option to set sasl to the wished authentication backend(s)?

Many thanks,
Andreas
