Sorry, didn't know that the versions of MySQL and php would be
pertinennt to my quesions.
MySQL 4.1
php 4.4
Although I've done things with configuration of MySQL, php
cyrus-imapd, postfix and the other technologies, I've never done MySQL
authentication for anything.

Postfix and cyrus-imapd are running on a mail server.
Web-cyradm, MySQL, Squirrelmail, Apache are all running on the web
server, a seperate system from the mail server. .
Ok, this gets a little confusing. Let me see if I have the order right
.
Web-cyradm talks with php to MySQL for authentication and
authorization information?
Postfix talks to mysql for configuration and authentication
information, so we need to establish a connection back to the mysql
server?
Cyrus-imapd talks to pam/cyrus-sasl for authentication and authorization?
Pam and cyrus-sasl get authentication and authorization from MySQL on
the web server ?

I should have known that relayhost wouldn't be in mysql. It's only a
single line configuration.
Please correct any misunderstanding above. I haven't been able to get
webcyradm to log anywhere that will help me debug my
misconfiguration.I get a connection log in apache that shows the GET,
that's all. And the page comes back blank and asking for login
information again. I see a POST to auth.inc.php followed by another
GET, in the apache access log, after each login attempt.
