The saslauthd daemon is running. I also made sure to stop cyrus, start the saslauthd daemon and then start cyrus before receiving the aforementioned results. I've noted that in the Cyrus Imap Server FAQ this is mentioned in one place as follows:
Dec 6 12:58:57 mail3.andrew.cmu.edu imapd[1297]: cannot connect to saslauthd server
Make sure that saslauthd is running and that the cyrus user can access the unix domain socket (defaults to /var/run/mux).
I am uncertain how to proceed in the second part of this answer to be sure that cyrus can access the unix domain socket. I do know, however, that /var/run/mux does not exist on my system.
This all said, someone just privately recommended I try changing my configuration to utilize auxprop rather than saslauthd as my sasl_pwcheck_method in /etc/imapd.conf and that worked like a charm.
I apologize for my ignorance and thank you all for the help you've provided.

You need to run the saslauthd daemon.
