Death through body damage and dehydration is what salt does to slugs.
Specifically, the mollusc (Gastropoda class) in question depends upon accessing moisture and keeping body parts moist in order to survive. Salt particles frustrate slug health because of their coarseness and their drying effects. Slugs will die from contact with sufficient quantities of salt.

Salt sucks the moisture out of slugs and snails, too. Without that protective coating of watery slime, the slug or snail will dry out and cannot live.
