Thanks Andrew, that was indeed the problem why no sasl error log was
generated.
After adding sasl in applications, the error logged in it is,

exception exit: {undef,[{inets,start,[]},
                            {exmpp_component,init,1},
                            {gen_fsm,init_it,6},
                            {proc_lib,init_p_do_apply,3}]}
      in function  gen_fsm:init_it/6

I had added `{app, inets, [{incl_cond, exclude}]},` in reltool.config
myself earlier.
I tried removing that option out now and I am getting the following error
while
starting up

{"init terminating in do_boot",{'cannot load',ftp,get_file}}

I was getting a series of such errors before and I could fix them by
excluding
non required libraries one by one. 'inets' was excluded in order to fix the
error for
'ftp' module. But it seems exmpp code needs inets:start/0.

I tried replacing it with -

{app, ftp, [{incl_cond, exclude}]},

and later

{app, inets, [{incl_cond, derived}]},

But both don't work. What is the correct way to configure this?
BTW, isn't ftp in the stdlib? I can load ftp module from inside any erlang
shell

Thanks,
Vineet
