Just to clearify here: it is important to follow the upgrade procedure from 
cyrus:
https://www.cyrusimap.org/docs/cyrus-imapd/2.4.0/install-upgrade.php

and to export/reimport any data during db version changes / upgrades within 
the used cyrus builds (export before - delete db and and reimport after).

see i.e:
https://lists.andrew.cmu.edu/pipermail/info-cyrus/2015-August/038316.html
https://www.banquise.org/software/how-to-recover-from-cyrus-when-you-have-some-db-errors/ (Linux, but same thing...)


Another thing often required in such a situation is to remove :

	rm -f /var/lib/cyrus/deliver.db
	rm -f /var/lib/cyrus/tls_sessions.db

to avoid the existence of incompatible database files.

If that doesn't help, a bug in your build may be a reason. Did you build the 
software from sources / ports or installed binaries?

hth a bit,

Niels.
