Is saslauthd actually running?  If it is, what socket is it listening
on (should be /var/run/saslauthd/mux)?  Is /etc/sysconfig/saslauthd
set the way you want it (ie. for whatever actual authentication method
you want to use on this server)?

These RPMs work fine for us on Red Hat 7.2 and 7.3 here (modified to
use the CVS code for virtual domain support in some cases).  You might
want to include the contents of /etc/imapd.conf,
/etc/sysconfig/saslauthd, and /usr/lib/sasl*/*.conf as well as the
exact versions of the cyrus-imapd and cyrus-sasl-* RPMs you are using.
