Hello,
Running sudo port upgrade installed, I got the following message:

I interrupted the process, deactivated cyrus-sasl2, and restarted the
update installed. The following resulted:

You need to do exactly what the instructions say.
The instructions say "Please deactivate or ... "
But de-activating doesn't help, as it still fails to upgrade.
So you have to go the whole way and de-install it
The reactivation of cyrus-sasl2 by upgrade installed prior to
upgrading cyrus-sasl2 defeated the purpose of deactivating before
hand. What I think should happen is that if cyrus-sasl2 requires
deactivation before upgrading the, script should deactivate and then
upgrade rather than have the user deactivate or uninstall. The non-
automation of the process defeats the purpose of automating the
upgrade, especially when the deactivation is defeated by an
activation.
There are no port-specific upgrade scripts. The normal upgrade
procedure
doesn't work for cyrus-sasl2, hence the instructions to do it
manually.
Yes, this is a bug.
