Assuming the Debian default logging config, have a look in
/var/log/mail.log for lines containing both "sieve" and "badlogin".  If
that looks OK apart from "authentication failure", look at
/var/log/auth.log.

Then you can use the two configurations to compare.

Does IMAP authentication on the _same_ machine work?

What settings are you using for (sieve_)allowplaintext and tls_*?

What is your authentication backend?
