Is it possible to use a different auth mechanism, other than "plain", when the encrypted password is in /etc/master.passwd (BSD style)?
No, because the other mechanisms require a plaintext password (although I see the WIKI doesn't reflect this except for APOP). As I recommended recently, you are free to use IMAPS (SSL IMAP) with encrypted passwords.
