You probably do not have this turned on in /etc/imapd.conf:

# Allow plaintext logins by default (SASL PLAIN)
allowplaintext: yes

You can either:

* connect using TLS (which will provide the required security bits),
then connect with PLAIN

* enable the allowplaintext option

* or connect with another mechanism (like DIGEST-MD5) which would also
provide the appropriate level of network security.

you might also need to adjust your sasl_minimum_layer setting.
