Unless you set <shorthost>_mechs: in imapd.conf, it will default to
KERBEROS_V4

so if your backends are mail1.domain.com and mail2.domain.com

you need to set

mail1_mechs: DIGEST-MD5
mail2_mechs: DIGEST-MD5

or whatever.

This is mostly laziness on our part, and is fixed to actually query the
backend for what they can provide in the 2.2 code.
