If this is a publicly accessible server, you should change this password as
it's easily reversible.

Review your syslog (auth facility). Increase your sasl log level if
necessary (set 'sasl_log_level: 7' in imapd.conf).

Correct, when 'sasl_pwcheck_method: auxprop' is set.

PLAIN is preferred in that it supports passing authz (-u) identities. Be aware
that specifying '-m login' (for imtest only) will fall back to using
pre-sasl 'login' authentication, or at least it used to.
