I wasn't validating the account passwords with LOGIN initially.  I was 
primarily using the sample server/client shipped with cyrus-sasl to see 
what was causing the "no mechanisms" error to occur.  That error occurs 
prior to the actual authentication happening.  Once I had a working 
solution, I used AUTH LOGIN with Postfix to confirm I could now 
successfully authenticate with user/password.

So you should be able to trivially use the sample server/client that ships 
with Cyrus-SASL to create the full stack of function calls that leads to 
this point.
