I have a very strange issue! SASL does not work properly, as it does not accept plain-text
passwords (like Outlook sends them)
Oct 2 10:35:09 srf cyrus/imap[4119]: accepted connection
Oct 2 10:35:09 srf cyrus/imap[4119]: badlogin: [217.XX.XXX.140] plaintext
[email protected] SASL(-1): generic failure: checkpass failed
Now I switch to "Encrypted password" in Thunderbird. I have the same issue as Outlook above on Thunderbird if I turn on "Plain Password"):

Same with Postfix:

Config:
/etc/imapd.conf:sasl_mech_list:LOGIN PLAIN CRAM-MD5
and
/etc/postfix/sasl/smtpd.conf:mech_list: LOGIN PLAIN CRAM-MD5
I have no idea where to dig. Please advise.
