Answering myself and others if they have similar problems....

It seems that cyrus imapd after 2.3.9 does not support plaintext 
authentication by default. And sieveshell does not support STARTTLS by 
default. You have to enable "allowplaintext" in the 
imapd.conf configuration file used by timsieved.
