What's your configuration look like on both systems?

On which system did you add the user?

Did you create the user.AAAAA imap folder at the same time? Are you using
any autocreate patches?

I'm not understanding the bigger picture of the problem, but this error is
triggered by:

     if (result < 0 ||
        ((!auxprop_values[0].name || !auxprop_values[0].values) &&
         (!auxprop_values[1].name || !auxprop_values[1].values))) {
         /* We didn't find this username */
         sparams->utils->seterror(sparams->utils->conn, 0,
                                  "no secret in database");
         result = sparams->transition ? SASL_TRANS : SASL_NOUSER;
         goto FreeAllMem;
     }

in plugings/digestmd5.c, where SASL_TRANS produces the 'One time use of
plaintext password...' message.

The error implies you have sasl_auto_transition enabled on the replica, and
that which ever user is being used to authenticate to your syncserver is
not found in your auxprop store (sasldb). Maybe you're using saslauthd on
the replica?
