Thanks for all the suggestions.

I've made a huge leap forward after starting /usr/local/sbin/pwcheck,
which I'd missed in all the excitement.

I get relaying now:

Aug 23 16:09:29 XXX sm-mta[54776]: AUTH=server, relay=boi4263cy38nf.bc.hsia.telus.net [216.232.133.79],
 authid=testuser, mech=LOGIN, bits=0

which I imagine indicates a plain text exchange. I still get the error below. 

error: safesasl(/usr/local/etc/sasldb.db) failed: Permission denied

Is /usr/local/etc/sasldb.db required when authenticating against
/etc/passwd?

after many chowns and chmods,
