Verify that your ldapdb auxprop plugin can be initialized:

echo "ldapdb_uri: ldap://localhost" > /usr/lib/sasl2/pluginviewer.conf

(the other parameters are not necessary)

pluginviewer | grep ldapdb

(saslpluginviewer on debian based systems)

For further trouble shooting, temporarily increase your syslog auth
facility to debug:

auth.debug /var/log/auth.log

and increase sasl library logging with:

sasl_log_level: 7

in imapd.conf
