With more than one admin here it's easy to mistake smtp for smtpd. 
Additionally I believe is explicitly turning off things I don't need so 
they don't come back to bite me in the ass when the default settings of 
a daemon changes eight months down the line. If you need sasl on 
incoming mail then by all means leave it on.

Hard to auth when you're not telling Postfix it needs to with the 
smtp_sasl = yes line. At least that hasn't been mentioned in this thread 
  so I thought it was worth the mention.

Going back to the original problem you won't see sasl auth in the logs 
unless you add a -v to smtp is master.cf, again not smtpd which is the 
first line in master.cf, but smtp. I'd flip it on while you're 
troubleshooting.
