You were right; I didn't need this. Without these entries I was getting
"Login Failed" error. That's why I put these lines in my config file.
After I removed these entries, I tried to connect but again failed with
a "Login Failed" error. I checked journalctl and it showed that mutt was
still trying to use DIGEST-MD5 authenticator (don't know why!). So I put
in my .muttrc this line:
set imap_authenticators="plain"
and it worked. I haven't tested smpt yet but I hope it will work now too.

Didn't know that. I read something like this about PLAIN authentication
in some forum post but it wasn't explained quite clearly.
Thanks guys for your help.
