The "No worthy mechs found" message is due to postfix trying to talk to 
Cyrus
via unencrypted channel.

It makes no sense to encrypt localhost traffic, but Cyrus insists on it...

Even `cyradm --server localhost' does not work "out of the box" for this 
reason.

I had to add "allowplaintext: yes" to imapd.conf before things started 
to work
(Suggested on this list by Dan White, CCed).

You may need something similar.
