Currently, the PLAIN auth mechanism only becomes available when the session is
encrypted (i.e. over SSL/TLS) - hence the error "no mechanism available". The
first password prompt above is from sasl.
cyradm then falls back to the IMAP LOGIN method and it prompts for a password
as below:

Nothing to do with Postfix. Just run cyradm like:
cyradm --auth login ...
[IMO the PLAIN auth mechanism should be enabled when allowplaintext is
enabled, regardless of an SSL session]
