How are you testing authentication?

This is where I start questioning the fact that no messages 
(from your earlier snippet) are being printed about what 
SASL is attempting to authenticate the end user.

Even though it's not the full user at domain.dom account
name you were thinking of "testtesttest" as a login realm
should work.

It's probably only available as a patch in the 2.0.x
series (I'm not to keen on exactly which versions had 
what features).

Your other choice is to skip 2.1 and jump into 2.2
available from CVS.  Since you're already compiling
your cyrus (as opposed to prepackaged binary) and
you want virtual domains support (and willing to go
to great lengths to get it), I'd suggest getting the 
2.2 branch which has native virtual domain support
built into it.

There are a few ppl on the list who have been running
the 2.2 branch for a couple weeks now and don't seem
to be having any problems with it at all.

That's the end of what I can offer you.
It seems to me that you have everything configured right
at least with what we've talked about.  Even without
the unixhierarchy separator you should be able to login
as testtesttest at testtestest.  The fact that you can't do
that leads me to suspect A) misconfigured SASL, or 
B) operator error in authentication test.

But I don't have anything conclusive either way.
I do know that there are many of us who have the
setup your looking to create, I just don't see 
what's going wrong in your environment.
