>From what sendmail show in the logs (550 5.1.1 User unknown) I would try
this:
In /etc/cyrus.conf, uncomment
#  lmtp		cmd="lmtpd" listen="lmtp" prefork=0

Restart cyrus and telnet lmtp:

telnet $myip 24
LHLO foo.bar
MAIL FROM:<foo@bar>
RCPT TO:<brad@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

if lmtp does not find the user it will answer something like

550-Mailbox unknown.  Either there is no mailbox associated with this
550-name or you do not have authorization to see it.
550 5.1.1 User unknown
