I haven't tinkered with it long enough to be certain I'm not doing
something stupid, but I have to admit I've run into similar
difficult with the LMTP-AUTH. I'm going to fiddle some more with
that.

However, with 2.0.11 you can technically get around the LMTP-AUTH
requirement if so desired, just make sure that either you bind your
Cyrus lmtpd server to a private network address, or use the
tcpwrappers support to block unauthorized access. Assuming you've
got either of those taken care of, you can do something like this:

/etc/cyrus.conf:

SERVICES {
  ...
  lmtp cmd="lmtpd -a" listen="[127.0.0.1]:lmtp" prefork=1
  ...
}

The "-a" turns off the LMTP-AUTH. The listen parameter can have an
address like this:

  listen="[127.0.0.1]:lmtp"
  listen="127.0.0.1:lmtp"
  listen="cyrus.example.org:lmtp"
  
This can be convenient if you have a private network between your
Postfix server and your Cyrus server. This works with Cyrus 2.0.11.
