Yes, only saslauthd can access (root!) /etc/shadow and /etc/passwd.
Your /etc/postfix/sasl/smtpd.conf should look like this:
pwcheck_method: saslauthd
mech_list: PLAIN LOGIN
mech_list is required because saslauthd only supports plaintext
mechanisms. If you don't set it SASL will have Postfix offer ALL
available mechanisms and you can start counting until the first users
calls you up to tell that SMTP AUTH doesn't work anymore...

-- I take the freedom to ignore offlist messages. Open Source software requires open access to information that tells all of us how to run it. Don't deprive the community of that! SMTP AUTH HOWTO: <http://postfix.state-of-mind.de/patrick.koetter/>
