Did you try running with the default cyrus.conf just to see how it goes?
With the following line I get exactly 2 lmtpd running until mail arrives.
lmtpunix      cmd="lmtpd" listen="/var/lib/imap/socket/lmtp" prefork=1

Then, if it behaves the same way you could try adding "maxchild=100" and
see how it goes. Then increasing prefork to 10 and check again.
