What client->auth_mechs? There's no such variable anywhere :)

Looking at the code, it should always complain in every possible
situation where something might go wrong. So, first it should be figured
out if the problem is in dovecot-auth or imap-login.

Try adding some debugging first:

diff -u -r1.16 auth-server-connection.c
--- src/lib-auth/auth-server-connection.c	14 Jan 2006 18:47:23 -0000	1.16
+++ src/lib-auth/auth-server-connection.c	22 Jan 2006 13:08:19 -0000
@@ -164,6 +164,8 @@
 
 	conn->refcount++;
 	while ((line = i_stream_next_line(conn->input)) != NULL) {
+		i_info("auth server: %s", line);
+
 		if (strncmp(line, "OK\t", 3) == 0)
 			ret = auth_client_input_ok(conn, line + 3);
 		else if (strncmp(line, "CONT\t", 5) == 0)

It should be sending a MECH line with PLAIN parameter.
