Postfix cannot find \/etc\/postfix\/sasl_passwd

Since recreating the postfix container (after a pull) I cannot send emails anymore, which used to work with the exact same settings.

The /var/log/maillog shows that Postfix cannot find the password file:

postfix_1    | Mar 10 16:51:58 ac84ee08fcbb postfix/smtp[156]: warning: hash:\/etc\/postfix\/sasl_passwd is unavailable. open database \/etc\/postfix\/sasl_passwd.db: No such file or directory

I think the recent merge of #7 has caused this: postconf doesn't appear to unescape the \/, whereas sed probably did. When I manually change the line

smtp_sasl_password_maps = hash:\/etc\/postfix\/sasl_passwd

to

'smtp_sasl_password_maps = hash:/etc/postfix/sasl_passwd

(and not restart the container!) emails are sent again, including ones in the queue.
