Easiest way is a modified poppassd server, or modified expect script.

If you have an old poppassd server, it will spawn the passwd command.  
Change that to spawn the saslpasswd2 command instead.

If you have a newer pam aware poppassd server, you may be able to setup
pam to have it call saslpasswd2 or some api to it.

Or, as you note, you could modify the expect script implementation.

Sounds okay.  Whether to use poppassd or expect is up to you.
