Good luck. You won't be able to do it.

They're completely different *EXIM* drivers. The bit that you need to add
is a *CYRUS* driver.

As I say, good luck with it. I don't envy you.

The other way you could do it is to hack the prompts and responses and
feed them into cyrus's PLAIN driver, but this would also be pain.
