Yeah, that did the trick (albeit with debug messages). I'm not able to
authenticate yet, however; the client (imtest) reports "Authentication
failed. generic failure" while the log file states "cannot connect to
saslauthd server".

The saslauthd server by default is using /var/run/saslauthd/mux (and
mux.accept, mux.pid). I'm not sure if imapd is using this or not, or if
permissions are wrong (mux is srwxrwxrwx and the others are rw for owner
only, owned by root:root).
