You are mixing things. saslauthd and sasldb are exclusive: either use one
or the other (at least on CentOS).

saslauthd -v

prints out the available authentication mechanisms (better to say backends).

On CentOS sasldb can only be used as a plugin by auxprop mechanism. You
will have to decided for one way to store your credentials.

I using the saslauthd keep in mind that you can't use shared secret
mechanisms.
