recently I was trying to install roundcube on my server and everything works fine until smtp test. When I try to connect i always get this error:
SMTP send: NOT OK(Connection failed: Failed to connect socket: fsockopen(): unable to connect to ssl://mx.mydomain.me:587 (Unknown error))
Syslog at time of connection:
Feb 1 11:14:35 mx postfix/smtpd[196497]: initializing the server-side TLS engine

My postfix config:

Also, I have ufw rule for my port.
After some testing, now i also get this error:
mx postfix/smtpd[208262]: warning: SASL: Connect to private/auth failed: No such file or directory
mx postfix/smtpd[208262]: fatal: no SASL authentication mechanisms
I have libsas12 installed
