If I change 'LOGIN' to 'CRAM-MD5' (the other value supported by Net::IMAP) then I get a similar (but not identical) error: "Net::IMAP::NoResponseError: Authentication failed: Unsupported authentication mechanism" If I use anything other than either 'LOGIN' or 'CRAM-MD5' I get an error from the Net::IMAP library saying "Unknown auth type" - which is reasonable.

PLAIN is the standard plaintext mechanism. If you want to use others, you'll have to add them to auth_mechanisms setting. Dovecot also accepts LOGIN if you just add it there.
