I suspect you need to look at modifying the 'lmtpsocket:' option in
imapd.conf:

>From the man page:

       lmtpsocket: {configdirectory}/socket/lmtp

            Unix domain socket that lmtpd listens on, used by
            deliver(8). This should match the path specified in
            cyrus.conf(5).
