that sounds like the right library. You'll need the development bits
too (/usr/include stuff etc) - those are often packaged
separately. Just try --with-sasl and see if it finds what it needs.

From the msmtp requirements page, it does require a SASL library for
methods other than PLAIN, LOGIN and CRAM-MD5. If you haven't built it
yourself, you might not notice.

It might be worth adding native support for PLAIN - that's generally
pretty easy. Most distributions come with SASL these days though
(including, from the sound of it, yours).
