You have not configured tls_cert_file or tls_key_file, only TLS for the imaps (normally port 993) and pop3s (normally port 995) services.

There are no tls errors as TLS is working fine. Remember: pop3s is running with ssl on port 995 all the time, same with imaps on port 993. Whereas pop3 on port 110 and imap on port 143 are usually not encrypted. But with STARTTLS you can encrypt the session while still connecting to port 110/143, while you usually have to connect to the special ports to get encrypted connections. However, the server must show that he supports STARTTLS by mentioning it on the CAPABILITIES list, otherwise clients aren't trying to use it.

Configure tls_cert_file and tls_key_file, which will be shared by imap, imaps, pop3, and pop3s by default. Unless you have a compelling reason for offering different certificates, delete your (imaps|pop3s)_tls_* entries from imapd.conf. When you enable these services in cyrus.conf, they will use the key/cert specified in tls_(key|cert)_file, unless overridden with the prefix of the service name used in cyrus.conf, as you have done.

Remember, imaps and pop3s (started with -s) do not use or offer STARTTLS, and configuration settings applied to them will have no effect on the standard imap or pop3 services.
