Can you provide sanitized copies of the following?:

Your saslauthd startup options (e.g. /etc/default/saslauthd)
Your saslauthd.conf if it exists
your PAM configuration for smtp, imaps and imap if appropriate

Permissions problem? Can your cyrus user read the TLS files you've
specified in imapd.conf?

If not, please include sanitised copies of your imapd.conf and cyrus.conf.

What does your sieve entry look like in cyrus.conf? What's your
squirrelmail sieve (avelsieve?) configuration look like?
