Just a side note (simplified):

cyrus-imapd is not a SMTP MTA. For this purpose, soem SMTP MTA solution like 
exim, postfix, sendmail etc. is typically used "together" with cyrus-imapd. 
cyrus speak lmtp ("local" mail transfer) with them to get fed with incoming 
emails.

For User authentication in Cyrus, i would expect to use 
Cyrus -> PAM -.> LDAP or ponetially
Cyrus -> SASL -> GSSAPI -> LDAP
as a typical solution (but never did it byself yet).

look at i.e.:

hth,


niels.
