I just tried the like above and here are incompatible parts so far:

- there is no smtp_sasl_auth_enable in main.cf but I found one in  
main.cf.default
- where is `etc/postfix/sasl_passwd`
sudo ls PATH/to/opt/etc/postfix/sasls*
ls: PATH/to/opt/etc/postfix/sasls*: No such file or directory

Thanks,
Charles
