Here's my imapd.conf for test purposes on test server:
(I suppose you have the line sasl_pwcheck_method: auxprop too)
for simple testing:

configdirectory: /var/imap
partition-default: /var/spool/imap
admins: cyrus mailadmin at unetix.net mailadmin at unetix.com
sasl_pwcheck_method: auxprop 
virtdomains: yes
defaultdomain: localdomain.net

with saslpasswd2 create admin cyrus:
saslpasswd2 -c cyrus
(asks for passwd etc.)
now you can login in with:
cyradm --auth plain --user cyrus localhost
and when you do lm you see e.g.:
user.guest1 at unetix.net (\HasNoChildren)
user.mailadmin at unetix.com (\HasNoChildren)
user.mailadmin at unetix.net (\HasNoChildren)
user.unetix at unetix.com (\HasNoChildren)
user.unetix at unetix.net (\HasNoChildren)
etc..
you can create mailboxes with
cm user.guest2 at unetix.net   
lm:
user.guest1 at unetix.net (\HasNoChildren)
user.guest2 at unetix.net (\HasNoChildren)
user.mailadmin at unetix.com (\HasNoChildren)
user.mailadmin at unetix.net (\HasNoChildren)
user.unetix at unetix.com (\HasNoChildren)
user.unetix at unetix.net (\HasNoChildren)

for the different domains.
create admins for the different domains with:
saslpasswd2 -c -u unetix.net mailadmin etc..
if you login as
cyradm --auth plain --user  mailadmin at unetix.com localhost
and you do lm
you see:

user.unetix (\HasNoChildren)

only the mailboxes for that domain
create mailbix with cm:
cm user.guest2
lm :
user.guest2 (\HasNoChildren)
user.unetix (\HasNoChildren)

exit and login with
cyradm --auth plain --user cyrus localhost
lm gives:
user.guest1 at unetix.net (\HasNoChildren)
user.guest2 at unetix.com (\HasNoChildren)
user.guest2 at unetix.net (\HasNoChildren)
user.mailadmin at unetix.com (\HasNoChildren)
user.mailadmin at unetix.net (\HasNoChildren)
user.unetix at unetix.com (\HasNoChildren)
user.unetix at unetix.net (\HasNoChildren)

so , I suppose , cyrus is the overall admin, you may create create
mailboxes for all domains in the form of
cm user.<username>@<domain>
mailadmins for the different domains login with --user mailadmin@<domain>
and see and create only mailboxes in their domain without the domain 
extension. 
What doesn't work is the default domain, I have that line in the imapd.conf 
too but I think you might as well leave it out because you can't do anything 
with it. So forget about the default domain , it doesn't work, or it works 
completely different from what one expects which is the same.

Hope this helps
