I have been working at trying to get cyrus to listen on 148.197.29.5 interface instead of the localhost - I have failed
No square brackets around the ip address.

Then no "imapd -s" appears
I have tried all sorts of combinations in cyrus.conf but all fail to LISTEN on 148.197.29.5
Make sure the IP address 148.197.29.5 is definitely up on any of the system's devices. Verify running "ip address list".
See above
Why will cyrus not listen on 148.197.29.5 ?
I am sure it is because that IP address isn't bound to any device.
I must be missing something very obvious !
