You can use force_sasl_client_mech or <host shortname>_mechs on your sync
client to force a particular mech (see the imapd.conf man page).

Were you specifying sasl_mech_list on the sync server?

You can explicitly set the server side mech list for just the sync_server
process with:

syncserver_sasl_mech_list: PLAIN

Assuming you're using 'syncserver' as the sync_server service name
in cyrus.conf.
