Here seems to be the problem. On every howto I find it says to create 
/etc/postfix/sasl/smtpd.conf and add in the mechanism line there. Now in 
the postfix book from oreilly it says that the smtpd.conf file should be 
in /usr/local/lib/sasl2/ folder. It seems that I am getting the auth 
mechanism error because postfix is not finding the smtpd.conf file, but 
I can't figure out how to point it to it.
