Thanks to all for your help.  I finally figured out my problem, which was
just old-fashioned operator idiocy.  I have two imap processes running with
different configs - one without TLS, so that I can conveniently run cyradm
locally.  I had only made the config change in the public server, not the
one that cyradm connects to.
