Cyrus-Imapd does not use (my)sql. For the used Databases you can choose ie.
Berkeley-DB or skiplist, but not sql.
Authentification Data - Usernames and Passwords are stored and handled with
Cyrus-SASL. There is a sql-Plugin for Cyrus-SASL available. The Name of the
Package in 10.2 is cyrus-sasl-sqlauxprop.
Oh, and Maildir is not the Format of the Mails stored by Cyrus-Imapd.
Cyrus-Imapd is something like a Black-Box. Every access to Mails is only via
the Network-Protocols LMTP, IMAP, POP3, NNTP. No File-Access, so Postfix
should send Mails to Cyrus-Imapd via LMTP.
I can't belive, that this is diffrent on other Platforms like RH.
