SOLVED .....courier font and bad eyes make for confusion between 1's and l's. Get them right before hasing the password! Amazing how the little details will kill me.
I went through thread921-1602498 in setting up this new server. There is a clear-text sasl_password file, it was postmap hash'd to a db. There is a clear-text canonical file, it was postmap hash'd to a db. The main.cf has the referenced smtp_ switches:
smtp_sasl_auth_enable = yes...
SAS programmers fear the 'missing semicolon'. I fear the 'extra underscore'. It turns out that I coded the smtp_sasl_auth_enable semaphore with an extra underscore. Hard to notice in an SSH session using vim. Anyway, once fixed my postfix test message did go through the authenticate. Message...
Telnet was a great suggestion. I was able to get a message to go through that way. This is what the session looked like:
# telnet smtp.emailsrvr.com 25
Trying 72.4.117.9...
Connected to smtp.emailsrvr.com (72.4.117.9).
Escape character is '^]'.

smtp_sasl__auth_enable = yes
smtp_sasl_password_maps = hash:/etc/postfix/sasl_passwd
smtp_sasl_security_options =
and there is a sasl_passwd plain text and hashed db file with the account/login information for smtp.emailsrvr.com...
just tried a telnet to Rackspace. Did not work, either. Here is how it went:
[root@bog-sas-02 postfix]# telnet smtp.emailsrvr.com 25

We are authorized. Rackspace expects auth login. We are using cyrus-sasl and have created a sasl_passwd db with the account and password information for the server. What I understand from your reply is that you believe this information is not being provided to Rackspace in the relay transaction...
I have installed postfix 2.2.10 (from Oracle Unbreakable Enterprise Linux 4 (kernel 2.6.9-78.0.17.0.1.ELsmp) on a standalone server. I relay to Rackspace, who requires smtp auth login, to relay. I created the sasl_passwd db and have cyrus sasl running. I created a canonical db to rename messages...
