I think there's a hidden null character netween username and password which you can see using
echo 'base64-reply' | base64 -d | od -cbut as Aki mention, this is probably not relevant to your problem.

I was expecting that since the encoding example in [1] inserts two \0 (NULL) characters before encoding, i.e.
printf 'raub@example.com\0raub@example.com\0passwod' | base64
I do not know if I am misreading the logs; maybe Aki can elaborate some more, but I do know the encoding example lists the username twice. And I am getting only it once when decoding the response I found in the log file.
