The postfix package appears to have been removed from Debian testing,
but both stable and unstable packages have:

Depends:  libsasl2-2
Suggests:  libsasl2-modules | dovecot-common

And libsasl2-2 (both stable and unstable) has:

Depends: libsasl2-modules-db
Recommends: libsasl2-modules

So libsasl2-modules is not a hard dependency of postfix (unless I missed
some other dependency chain), but it is installed by default, unless you
have specified --no-install-recommends.
