I've fallen for this gotcha before, so I'm kicking myself for doing it again.
All that was wrong was that when I installed cyrus+sasl, I neglected to install the debian package libsasl2-modules. I'm not 100% sure why this fixed it, as I don't use PAM which is what this package seems to be for. Anyway, after installing it, I got the PLAIN & LOGIN mechs coming up, the rest was easy.
thanks for reading.
