Well, you must admit that cyrus-imapd/cyrus-sasl are two of a VERY limited set
of software packages, which us syslog to configure different debugging levels.
That's for sure a little bit strange... :-)
I heard about a lot of complaints already for this reason.

But to provide a cure:

Use syslog-ng. It allows to filter log messages by regular expressions.

If you need an example configuration, here it is:
