Yeah, its not documented and the option names are almost the reverse of 
what imtest uses:

cyradm --user <authid> --authz <authzid>

imtest -a <authid> -u <authzid>

Note that the only mechanisms that allow for proxying are PLAIN, 
DIGEST-MD5, OTP, SRP, KERBEROS_V4 and GSSAPI.

I'm not aware of any maintream MUAs that let you do this.
