It's been a little while since I've done this, so I'm not absolutely
sure of the details, but if memory serves ...

Run two different IMAP services from cyrus.conf:

  SERVICES {
    imap       cmd="imapd" listen="imap.example.org:imap" prefork=1
    imaplocal  cmd="imapd" listen="localhost:imap" prefork=2
  }

In imapd.conf you can prefix a configuration directive with the service
name, where the service name is exactly what you specified in SERVICES;

  imaplocal_allowplaintext: 1

All possibly wrong, as I say; worth a try though.
