I am not a postfix expert, but try to find out how postfix delivers the mail to cyrus. (There are different options!) In Exim we use lmtp and we have created all mailbox names in lowercase and configured Exim to convert all local parts of email addresses (the part left of the at-sign '@') to lowercase as well. This works for us.
