Dovecot, ldap, postfix are already configured with sasl authentication.
Configuration is more than an example how ldap works, but it works if you want to use it.
I don't know what your config will be, so it depends from your configuration if ldap it's the best solution for you.
You can alternative use mysql or hash databases.

An example of Administrator user...
Code:
dn: uid=Administrator,ou=virtualusers,o=virtualmail,dc=sms,dc=org
objectClass: inetOrgPerson
objectClass: posixAccount
objectClass: shadowAccount
gidNumber: 1004
homeDirectory: /home
uidNumber: 1004
uid: Administrator
sn: Administrator
userPassword: {SSHA}kWwFuLC0yLIQfUdGquQVIGogKKkPTAo0
cn: Administrator
mail: Administrator@sms.virtual


Dovecot and postfix are using SASL authentication.
If you type 'testsaslauthd -u administrator -p toor' you will get
Code:
root@sms:~# testsaslauthd -u administrator -p toor
0: OK "Success."

You might also want to look at
/etc/postfix/main.cf
/etc/postfix/ldap-aliases.cf
/etc/postfix/ldap-mailists.cf
/etc/postfix/ldap-users.cf
/etc/dovecot-ldap.conf
/etc/dovecot.conf
/etc/saslauthd.conf
to see how they are configured.
