What you are missing is that there is a very good reason that ONLY the
output of doveconf -n is wanted here...
It proves that you are using the settings you think you are using.
doveconf -n
2.1.7: /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf
OS: Linux 3.2.0-4-686-pae i686 Debian 7.4
disable_plaintext_auth = no
So... where is auth_mechanisms? You said you had it set to
doveconf -n | head -1
2.1.7: /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf
cat /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf | grep -i auth_
auth_mechanisms = plain login digest-md5 cram-md5
#auth_proxy_self =
Obviously, I don't know how. That's the file that conf dovecot claims
it is using. It you know how to find out the conf file dovecot is
*really* using, then please let me know.
