Cyrus-imapd relies on Cyrus-SASL for authenticating users, so you
should consider investigating whether Cyrus-SASL could accomplish
what you need.
  LDAP userdb auxprop plugin authenticates users using their information
from their LDAP account (or somth). Since this is not what you want,
I don't think it's useful to you ( you don't want LDAP authentication).
  You should explain more clearly what you intend to do. Do you
already have a KDC with your users in it ?

As for ldap-pts, what's for authorization and not authentication.
