I guess you have read this one:

Te best way to have postfix deliver mail is via lmtp:

Make sure you gor the lmtpunix service active in /etc/cyrus.conf:
Mine looks like this:
grep lmtp /etc/cyrus.conf
        #lmtp           cmd="lmtpd" listen="localhost:lmtp" prefork=0
maxchild=20
        lmtpunix        cmd="lmtpd" listen="/var/run/cyrus/socket/lmtp"
prefork=0 maxchild=20
        #lmtp           cmd="lmtpproxyd" listen="lmtp" prefork=1
maxchild=20

Also, make sure postfix delivers via lmtp:
mailbox_transport = lmtp:unix:/var/run/cyrus/socket/lmtp

Hint: make sure those paths are the same and that the _postfix_ user may
enter the differnt directories preceding the path .
