yep, I checked this one :
-rw-r----- 1 root postfix 16K Jul 27 15:42 /usr/pkg/etc/sasldb.db

myhostname=3Dbagheera.tumfatig.net, this it's hostname.
and the exact saslpasswd2 command was :
# sudo saslpasswd2 -c -u bagheera.tumfatig.net -a smtpauth testuser

And as it works, it looks like postfix (or sasl) tries something (not
