Do you want to use saslauth or just don't realy know what you are doing?
I have just migrated my server yesterday using just here are some of my config :
# cat /etc/imapd.conf
configdirectory: /var/lib/imap
partition-default: /var/spool/imap
admins: cyrus
sievedir: /var/lib/imap/sieve
sendmail: /usr/sbin/sendmail
#sasl_pwcheck_method: saslauthd
sasl_pwcheck_method: auxprop
sasl_auxprop_plugin: sasldb
sasl_mech_list: PLAIN
tls_cert_file: /etc/pki/cyrus-imapd/cyrus-imapd.pem
tls_key_file: /etc/pki/cyrus-imapd/cyrus-imapd.pem
tls_ca_file: /etc/pki/tls/certs/ca-bundle.crt
virtdomains: userid
defaultdomain: max.asxnet.loc
loginrealms: max.asxnet.loc
hashimapspool: yes
altnamespace: 0
unixhierarchysep: yes
lmtp_downcase_rcpt: yes
username_tolower: 1
THE relevant thing for you are :
sasl_pwcheck_method: auxprop
sasl_auxprop_plugin: sasldb
# history | grep sasl
705 sasldblistusers2
706 saslpasswd2 cyrus at max.asxnet.loc
707 sasldblistusers2
709 saslpasswd2 -u max.asxnet.loc root
710 sasldblistusers2
728 chown cyrus.mail /etc/sasldb2

Often things are made to work together without to much change.
It help to stay in the main idea of the developer, but not always easy
to guest it.
Yesterday I didn't touch my postfix on my centos 5.1 to make it works
