some defaults for database format have changed between 2.4 and 2.5 but this
is automatically handled.

You Problem lies in

Jan 14 23:10:46 mail cyrus/master[5311]: cannot find executable for  
service 'nntp'
Jan 14 23:10:46 mail cyrus/master[5311]: exiting

Either the executables are installed in the wrong place, or cyrus was  
compiled/packaged
without news support. You can comment out nntp in /etc/cyrus.conf to  
try to start without
running an nntp server

As cyrus aborted the start there is no process listening
