what do you mean by "doesn't work". please be more explicit. also show
relevant logs.

is the password in myslq in clear text? (unpatched) cyrus-sasl doesn't
support encrypted mysql paswords.

check your mysql logs and see if cyrus-sasl queries mysql and what query
it uses. run the same query. show the query and output.
