Below please find modified sendmail.mc lines to make sendmail check cyrus 
mailbox existence using socket map [instead of fstat map]:

dnl *.mc file modifications for real time integration of cyrus and sendmail
dnl
dnl It makes sendmail define user map in sendmail.cf
define(`LUSER_RELAY')
LOCAL_CONFIG
# cyrus - map for file stat checking
Kcyrus socket local:_path_to_smmapd_socket_
dnl
dnl
LOCAL_RULESETS
SLocal_localaddr
# Treat system mailboxes as usual
R$+             $: $(user $1 $)
R$+ <>          $@
# Detect cyrus mailboxes - deliver via cyrus mailer
R$+             $: $1 <$(cyrus $1 $: $)>
R$<$+>          $# cyrus $: @$1
# Treat remaining as usual
R$*             $@
<-----

I hope will publish next version next week:
* capable to support cyrus virtual domains
* milter-sender friendly
[current version creates problems with checking local address validity]
