Might be. But note that with "secure authentication" it might mean
CRAM-MD5, DIGEST-MD5, Kerberos a.s.o. that are no simple plain text or
just Base64 coding mechanisms. SSL on the other hand is a way to make a
secure *connection*.
So make sure some of the above mechanisms are enabled in your dovecot
installation as well.
