My bad, I am using cyrus-imapd-2.1.14 and cyrus-sasl-2.1.15.
I realize pwcheck is deprecated, I am using exim as a MTA and it
supports pwcheck, not saslauthd.
That make no sense. Either Exim supports SASLv2 or it doesn't. Only the SASL library itself talks to the plaintext verifier (saslauthd, pwcheck, etc).

Since you haven't mentioned which version of Cyrus IMAP or SASL, I'm going to assume IMAP v2.x and SASL v2.x. The pwcheck authentication method is deprecated in SASLv2. Unless you're authenticating against some home grown backend database, you should be using:
sasl_pwcheck_method: saslauthd
and run:
saslauthd -a shadow

Sorry, I'm currently using pwcheck to auth for exim, so that or /etc/shadow would do the job.

It is definitely a SASL issue. You need to tell us how you plan to do plaintext authentication (sasldb2, PAM, /etc/shadow, MySQL, etc).

Could this possibly be a SASL issue (either in the way it was compiled or configured).

I've recently set up a new cyrus IMAPd server and am having problems getting my Outlook Express client to work well with it. Keep seeing the following errors in the logs:
Aug 1 11:50:29 mailsrv imapd[25883]: badlogin: host.domain [xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx] plaintext sdexter SASL(-4): no mechanism available: checkpass failed
I am sure this has been covered before, but my digging in the archives didn't turn up much.
