This should work right?

su - user1
expect "Password: "
send "xyz"

expect "string" and send "string" are expect commands, not shell
commands, and you would have them executed after su returns. You can
write a script like this:

#!/usr/bin/expect -f
spawn su - user1
expect "Password:"
send "xyz"
interact
