Start here:

It's possible that only your test is failing, and your sasl is
actually working. If your sasl is really borked, there should
be other errors logged by postfix. Check the postfix logs.

If some people are able to authenticate, then it's probably
just your test that's broken.

I use dovecot for sasl, so I can't provide further help in
debugging cyrus auth problems. Someone else will jump in if
you post proper evidence.
