You might see if it's possible to enable IMAP on your exchange server. IMAP
runs on port 993 on our's (imaps).

Try configuring an Outlook client simultaneously with both a MAPI
connection, and an IMAP connection, and then copy the messages between the
two.

Another approach would be to export your messages, using Outlook, to a .pst
file, and figure out a way to import those messages into cyrus, or back
into outlook after IMAP has been configured.
