Here I go again, responding to my own post.  I hate when that happens.

I changed out my imapd.conf so that sasl_mech_list now says "plain" and
guess what?  It now works.  Which I guess sort of answers the question
except it's a little disconcerting to know that imapd will handle pam
but timsieved won't.  Especially since I figured "plain" wouldn't be
very good security.  Maybe I'll just leave it at "plain" and throw the
whole thing behind SSL.
