The tests using SASL and SASL-IR in Thunderbird both fail to authenticate. I have tried using openssl s_client with the same result. I've run the auth command in three ways just to be sure I got the second example right. I even checked to make sure I've spelt my name right and the case of the letters.

EXTERNAL auth works only if this this also works:

a LOGIN username-from-cert ""

i.e. login with empty password.

passdb: driver: passwd-file args: /opt/etc/dovecot/passwd userdb: driver: passwd

/opt/etc/dovecot/passwd Stephen:{EXTERNAL}

So try {PLAIN} here.
