Hm, did you first install the cyrus-imapd rpms and later compile and
install from source? This results in a real mess.

The banner indicates that you are running my rpms and not the binaries you
built from source.
All I can say is that the rpms run out of the box using saslauthd to
authenticate. saslauthd is configured to use /etc/shadow per default on
RedHat/Fedora which means it's using system accounts.

Try
imtest -v -a cyrus -m login localhost
