This is exactly what the EXTERNAL SASL mechanism is designed for and is
available in Cyrus. If the client presents a TLS client cert, Cyrus
will make the EXTERNAL mechanism available, which essentially means "use
the credentials presented outside of SASL". Whether any mainstream
clients have support for EXTERNAL, I don't know.
