I understand now why I cannot put hashed userPassword when I use SASL. But, does it mean that the ONLY place where I can use hashed passwords for authentication is the rootpw directive in slapd.conf, or, there are more sensible use cases where it can be used?

You may use hashed passwords as userPassword attribute value for simple binds. Why do you want hashed passwords at all? I think this is just security by obscurity.
