This indicates to me, a Cyrus SASL authentication daemon is running. 
This is fine, but sort-of conflicts with kolab-saslauthd in its default 
startup configuration.

The Cyrus SASL authentication daemon does LDAP authentication for one 
domain at the most, you see; The Kolab SASL authentication daemon is 
tailored to do authentication for multiple domains (read: isolated 
directory trees).

So, if nothing other then the Kolab components is using the SASL 
authentication daemon;

  - turn off the Cyrus one and boot up the Kolab one for multi-domain, 
*or*
  - keep the Cyrus one (provided it be appropriately configured with the 
LDAP auth. mech. and /etc/saslauthd.conf in place), and turn off the 
Kolab one.

Kind regards,

Jeroen van Meeuwen
