Yes, I tried the running unit tests (Version 2.1-3) on my setup and
found the following issue on the backend:

Suite: backend
  Test: badhost ...passed
  Test: badservice ...passed
  Test: sasl_plain ...Server failed to find requested SASL mechanism
"PLAIN" FAILED
    1. ./cunit/backend.testc:198  - CU_ASSERT_PTR_NOT_NULL_FATAL(be)
  Test: sasl_digestmd5 ...passed
  Test: multiline_caps ...Server failed to find requested SASL mechanism
"PLAIN" FAILED
    1. ./cunit/backend.testc:314  - CU_ASSERT_PTR_NOT_NULL_FATAL(be)
  Test: oneline_caps ...Server failed to find requested SASL mechanism
"PLAIN" FAILED
    1. ./cunit/backend.testc:314  - CU_ASSERT_PTR_NOT_NULL_FATAL(be)
  Test: starttls ...Server failed to find requested SASL mechanism
"PLAIN" FAILED
    1. ./cunit/backend.testc:408  - CU_ASSERT_PTR_NOT_NULL_FATAL(be)

But,it's not easy for me to go further; I'll continue investigating....
