Solved-Works
I really hope this helps some people on here but I've found a solution that
does NOT require uninstalling packages or installing anything that's not in the
stock repos for precise 12.04 for use in saslauthd(cyrus), mysql, postfix
scenario.

I've had the same problem.
what fixed it for me was to change in /etc/postfix/sasl/smtpd.conf:
Replace:
auxprop_plugin: mysql
with:
auxprop_plugin: sql
sql_engine: mysql
and change the %u in "sql_select: select password from mail_user where
login = '%u'" to %u@%r

Well, this bug (or whatever you call this) is out for so long and the
held back packages started to effect other ones. So, I decided to change
my authentication method from "auxprop" to "rimap". I did this because,
I couldn't risk changing from courier to devocot like mentioned in other
posts. And
For the record, the saslauthd => ldap bug seems to be fixed after
updating all the related packages.
