I have installed:
.oO( musashi | ~ )Oo. dpkg --get-selections | grep -i sasl
libauthen-sasl-perl                             install
libsasl2-2                                      install
libsasl2-modules                                install
libsasl2-modules-gssapi-heimdal                 install
libsasl2-modules-otp                            install
php-auth-sasl                                   install
sasl2-bin                                       install

Completly disabling sasl in /etc/postfix/main.cf and /etc/postfix/master.cf currently fixes receiving, but of course doesn't allow to send mail using SASL authenticated clients.
It worked perfectly before the updates :-)

Thanks!
Johnny
