There is "no auth attempts", so you do not have an issue with authentication.
Because of the "TLS handshaking: Disconnected" it looks like the connection gets cut during the initial TLS handshake. To debug this, first increare logging, then try from localhost without encryption, e.g.:
telnet localhost 143 1 login "loginname" "password"
and watch the human friendly output. Terminate the IMAP connection via
2 logout
Maybe that client does not like your SSL cert and drops the connection thereof? Or maybe a firewall thinks it has to fiddle in, e.g. change Thunderbird to use SSL on port 993 instead of STARTTLS on 143.
Kind regards,
