'--server' is not a valid option for version 2.3.16. Use:

cyradm --user cyrus --auth login localhost

saslpasswd2 -c cyrus

works for me.

saslauthd can be used to verify against /etc/shadow, but:

sasl_pwcheck_method: auxprop

won't.

Check your syslog, or where your auth facility is getting logged. You can
configure your syslog daemon to log 'auth.debug' and then set
'sasl_log_level: 7' within imapd.conf to log sasl debugging messages.

Use pluginviewer/saslpluginviewer to verify that you have the PLAIN
and LOGIN mechanisms and the sasldb auxprop installed correctly.
