It must work.
# "dovecot -n" command gives a clean output of the changed settings. Use it

# dovecot -n
Usage: dovecot [-F] [-c <config file>] [-p]
[--exec-mail <protocol>] [--version] [--build-options]
Fatal: Unknown argument: -n

Sorry, I don't use it, but I think the problem is there.
Cyrus SASL is older than dovecot's SASL, so I don't think the problem is here.
Interestingly, installing nscd hides the problem.
Perhaps a race condition?
