Of cyrus-sasl? Not that I've seen.  Do you mean cyrus-imapd perhaps?  If 
you look at the "Contribute" Page, it is all about cyrus-imapd.  If you 
look at the git log for the cyrus-sasl branch, there's been no real work at 
all for a few years:

<https://cgit.cyrus.foundation/cyrus-sasl/log/>

Again, this is despite the fact that a variety of patches and at least one 
new database backend have been contributed back.

Postfix has support for some alternative SASL implementation, but I've 
never looked at it in depth.
