The newsspool option is deprecated and not needed.

Have you created the "Usenet.comp.mail.imap" mailbox on your "news" 
partition (/var/spool/imap/news) and given at least the "anonymous" user 
  the "p" right?  You probably want to grant your newsgroups "anyone lrsp".

Have you told your news provider to send you articles?

Do you have a local NNTP client that can access your Cyrus server and 
LIST newsgroups and POST articles (you can do this with nntptest if you 
know how to use NNTP manually)?  If not, you need to fix this before 
worrying about accepting articles from the outside.
