Please show:

$ telnet localhost imap
x CAPABILITY

and

$ telnet localhost sieve

I think the Authentification works not with "PLAIN" as Cyrus-SASL Mechanism, 
but with the IMAP-Builtin LOGIN or the POP3-Builtin USER/PASS.

So, after the above show the contents of the Cyrus-SASL Plugin Directory 
(Maybe /usr/lib/sasl2/).

imtest is the IMAP-Test Utility, it is not able to "speak" SIEVE. I would be 
very interested, what you mean with "works fine". Please show the Output.

"plaintext" != Cyrus-SASL Mechanism "PLAIN"

( cyradm == IMAP ) != SIEVE

cyradm cannot handle sieve. Use sieveshell to login to sieve.
