That's a Cyrus IMAP specific issue. With default configuration, it does
not allow transmission of a clear text password. You can enable the
'allowplaintext' imapd.conf option to change that behavior, or use a
connection which provides some level of encryption.

The errors your seeing are spurious, since you're using saslauthd to
authenticate. It's an error indicating that you're missing a required
config option in /etc/imapd.conf - the sasl_ldapdb_uri option.

You can get rid of the error in imapd.conf with:

sasl_auxprop_plugin: sasldb

Or by removing the ldapdb shared library.
