Chris,

Check if your sasl is working for cyrus user:
testsaslauthd -u cyrus -p <your-passwd>

You should get:
0: OK "Success."

if not, you have a problem with your sasl configuration or you have
wrong auth info.

Check if you have change sasl conf file to star the service:
edit /etc/default/saslauthd

change START to yes and NAME to saslauthd:
START=yes
NAME="saslauthd"


If sasl is running, try setting a new password:
saslpasswd2 cyrus

Regards.
