Check your syslog for any errors (auth facility). Verify that the user
which imapd is running under has permissions to access the saslauthd mux.
One way to verify that is with:

sudo -u cyrus testsaslauthd -u test-adm -p password

You may need to set:

sasl_saslauthd_path: </full/path/to/saslauthd/mux>/mux

Within imapd.conf. But your logs will provide an appropriate error if that
option is needed.
