Is there any open source software that divides words in an English
text into syllables? (E.g. I enter "Your satisfaction is completely
guaranteed" and get "Your sa- tis- fac- tion is com-plete-ly etc.)

Yes, but it may not be as user-friendly as your example.

See Message 2 on this page:

Does this meet your need?

Hi,
Check out the following websites.

http://www.textanalysis.info/inforet.htm it provides a lot of related info.
It provides several liguistic tools that you will need. 
Do check out Textalyzer it is a free text analysis tool that counts
words, sentences, syllables, and even lexical density.
Almost all the tools are documented and have enough detail for anyone
