I had a similar problem and it was resolved after creating the needed auth_file in my pam-directory:I am trying to make cyrus authenticate via saslauthd.
The problem is that when using "sasl_pwcheck_method: saslauthd" I get "generic failure: checkpass failed".
If I use "sasl_pwcheck_method: auxprop" it's working.
Since I only see SQL queries in /var/log/mysql/mysql.log when using auxprop I guess that the problem is between cyrus, saslauthd and or pam.
I use pam_ldap for imap and i created a file imap in /etc/pam.d which contains:
#%PAM-1.0 auth sufficient /lib/security/pam_ldap.so account sufficient /lib/security/pam_ldap.so
I don't think that's it as I have the appropiate pam files (/etc/pam.d/imap, /etc/pam.d/smtp, /etc/pam.d/pop, /etc/pam.d/sieve):
auth sufficient pam_mysql.so user=xxx passwd=xxx host=localhost db=cyrus table=accountuser usercolumn=username passwdcolumn=password crypt=1 logtable=log logmsgcolumn=msg logusercolumn=user loghostcolumn=host logpidcolumn=pid logtimecolumn=time
account required pam_mysql.so user=xxx passwd=xxx host=localhost db=cyrus table=accountuser usercolumn=username passwdcolumn=password crypt=1 logtable=log logmsgcolumn=msg logusercolumn=user loghostcolumn=host logpidcolumn=pid logtimecolumn=time
