You need to run cyrus IMAPd 2.1.x or 2.2.x to have usernames with a ".".

You can't run cyrus imap 2.2  with sasl 1.. you can only use cyrus 2.1
or 2.2 with sasl 2..   You should probably post the "weirdness" on the
cyrus-sasl mailing list to see if you can get it sorted out.   I
personally still am using cyrus sasl 2.1.15 as the newer releases have
some weirdness attached with them. (though I haven't tried the .19
release yet).
