Your 'cyrus' identity will need to be configured as a 'proxyservers' user.
Consider using a distinct user for that purpose.

Make sure you are not authenticating with LOGIN or CRAM-MD5, because those
mechanisms do not support proxy authentication:

http://www.cyrussasl.org/docs/cyrus-sasl/2.1.25/mechanisms.php

Given a timesieved entry of

         sieve cmd="timsieved" listen="sieve" prefork=0

in /etc/cyrus.conf, you can restrict the list of server mechanisms offered
for sieve with

sieve_sasl_mech_list: PLAIN DIGEST-MD5 [...]

in /etc/imapd.conf.
