Andreas already mentioned a suggestion: in cyrus.conf watch out for the 
sieve service and append to "timsieved" the parameter "-C 
/path/to/config_file". It may be "/etc/imapd_sieve.conf" in which you 
omit the LOGIN mech, while keeping the /etc/imapd.conf used by imap(s) 
and/or pop3(s) as it is offering LOGIN and PLAIN.
