Yes, if you want to break your system. Postfix uses cyrus-sasl to do 
SMTP AUTH. The other dependencies are there for a reason too. Why are 
you trying to remove all of these packages? If you're just trying to 
create a minimal system or save some space, by all means remove packages 
you don't need but don't use --nodeps or --force or you'll break 
something, possibly in a very subtle way that you won't notice for some 
time.
