Hi
replying to myself as I figured it (ouch!)
I had the correct stuff in the saslauth file:
# this is VIA IMAP
MECH=rimap
FLAGS="-O localhost -r"
but I forgot to exclude the FLAGS line which was at the end of that file:
# Additional flags to pass to saslauthd on the command line. See saslauthd(8)
# for the list of accepted flags.
# make sure you dont have double flags in here.
FLAGS=
wiping FLAGS to null and sasl is complaining with
Starting saslauthd: saslauthd[20677] :set_auth_mech : failed to initialize mechanism rimap
Bugger.

My Carpenter has a 1956 VW Beetle. He still can go to any place in Australia, use any Oil, spark plugs, pertol, tires, wiper blades, etc available today with a car that old. If only software would be like that.
