Sure. Why did you (why did the author of the guide) choose Cyrus 
SASL? If you are using Dovecot IMAP, it makes absolutely no sense 
then to use Cyrus SASL. Dovecot SASL is much easier to set up. If 
you're using something else for IMAP, Dovecot SASL is a reason to 
consider changing.

Hint: if an online guide tells you do do something silly, that's a 
reason to consider it suspect. Another hint: use and trust the 
Postfix documentation. Many thousands of people are generating web 
content saying how they set up Postfix. They might not know any more 
than you do about it. If you read and understand the documentation, 
they definitely will not know more than you do.
