Please change the DNS lookup = defaultdomain process, and use defaultdomain as the default domain.

I can't really help,  but I can mention the following, I have in imapd.conf:

admins: cyrus cyrus at mail1.ugent.be
virtdomains: userid

In our ldap we have a cyrus user.

I also had some problems in the past, maybe more or less like you know have.

I just log in as 'cyrus' user.

However we don't have any domain admins.
