Can you try setting imapc_sasl_mechanisms to login, maybe it works better?

I'm migrating a legacy uw-imap system to Dovecot, on a Rocky (RHEL) 8 server running Dovecot 2.3.16-3 from their repos. I am using a master user to import all users for an imaps connection from the old server to the new. On a trial run however, it worked for about half the users. Half are giving an error of the form:
dsync(user): Error: imapc(host:993): Command '1 AUTHENTICATE PLAIN xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx' failed with BAD: 1 Missing or invalid argument to AUTHENTICATE
I can't seem to get the IMAP command for the users that did work. However, on the face of it, that is an invalid AUTHENTICATE command. If I take that string and brake it up into (what I've googled is) the proper form of multi-command form of
1 AUTHENTICATE PLAIN + xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
then the login succeeds. I have not been able to find anyone else with this problem in my search. Is this a known issue, is there a way to force the multi-line AUTHENTICATE, something else I'm missing ? Any help is appreciate on this!
