I just went through a painful upgrade from 8.04 to 10 LTS. I've made a lot of progress but am still having email problems. Dovecot seems to not be able to run, the log is continually reporting:

Aug 22 23:47:34 amd64 postfix/smtpd[22298]: fatal: no SASL authentication mechanisms

Here's this section of dovecot.conf:

auth default {
mechanisms = plain login
passdb pam {
}

userdb passwd {
}

socket listen {
#master {
# Master socket provides access to userdb information. It's typically
# used to give Dovecot's local delivery agent access to userdb so it
# can find mailbox locations.
#path = /var/run/dovecot/auth-master
#mode = 0600
# Default user/group is the one who started dovecot-auth (root)
#user =
#group =
#}
client {
# The client socket is generally safe to export to everyone. Typical use
# is to export it to your SMTP server so it can do SMTP AUTH lookups
# using it.
path = /var/spool/postfix/private/auth-client
mode = 0660
user = postfix
group = postfix
}
}


## dovecot-lda specific settings
##
# socket listen {
# userdb =
# passdb =
# master {
# path = /var/run/dovecot/auth-master
# mode = 0600
# user = mail # User running Dovecot LDA
# #group = mail # Or alternatively mode 0660 + LDA user in this group
# }
# }
}

What am I missing?
