So the package you installed has 

  smtp_sasl_auth_enable = true

but it's not compiled into the package?

I just verified that both SASL and TLS port options are off by default.
How does this compare to other OSes? Do they offer those out of the box?
I wonder what upstream Postfix provides as well. My personal opinion
here is that TLS should be enabled by default -- these days we should
not be adding additional hurdles before users can implement best
practices.

FYI, the default configuration is not dynamically generated. It would
take a significant amount of work to produce a config that matches the
port's default build options. I do think we have an obvious problem here
though if SASL and TLS are in the config by default but not built by
default.
