What you paste above does not show a successful IMAP login. I think you
got that wrong. It only shows the greeting message by Cyrus-IMAPd.
Running a manual IMAP connection through telnet following would have to
follow to proceed with authentication:
01 login <user> <password>
Then the IMAP server would tell you whether it accepts you by the given
auth data or not.
