You can download an RPM which authenticates Cyrus IMAP logins against a
MySQL DB from:

I haven't released the MySQL pwcheck daemon outside of the RPM, but if you
can't use RPM send me an email and I'll send you the daemon on it's own.
Yes, you can also use PAM. Search the Cyrus archives for 'PAM' and 'MySQL'
since this has been dealt with before:
