Is that a standard interface? ie can a client like postfix talk to either dovecot or cyrus without knowing the difference?

Yes. Postfix does not care, though I find it is easier to setup and more reliable to use dovecot (I've used both, YMMV).

Are there others?

Those are the only two I have used. If there are others I've not seen them mentioned on the postfix list that I can recall.

Is there a good reference to this somewhere, short of reading the RFCs?

The best bet is

1) get a real cert.
2) copy and existing configuration

And is there any option (current or proposed) to let dovecot act as a client, rather than a server?

A client for…?
