That probably means that Plaintext authentication is disabled, sheesh.

Searching for "plaintext" in the default configuration gives this:
# Disable LOGIN command and all other plaintext authentications unless
# SSL/TLS is used (LOGINDISABLED capability). Note that 127.*.*.* and
# IPv6 ::1 addresses are considered secure, this setting has no effect if
# you connect from those addresses.
#disable_plaintext_auth = yes

Does this solve your problems?

Greetings
Marc
