[Bug 398733] Re: Dovecot Plain auth broken in 1.1.1, fixed in 1.2.1

[Ante Karamatić]

Well, 'mechanisms' defines what kind of authentication dovecot accepts.
In your previous config, you didn't have any mechanisms defined. I
haven't checked, but I'd guess that without those authentication
wouldn't work. Plain text mechanisms are plain and login. If you don't
use dovecot as SMTP-AUTH backend for postfix, plain is enough. 'login'
is needed for Outlook when dovecot is used as smtp-auth.

I guess your problem was in missing mechanisms. You could try removing
it (commenting it out) and then try plain text auth. Please report if
that was an issue.
