My dovecot.conf has the following:

 # No results when searching the wiki
 disable_plaintext_auth = no

 # http://wiki2.dovecot.org/Authentication/Mechanisms
 auth_mechanisms = plain login digest-md5 cram-md5

When I attempt to run imapsync, I receive an error:

 Host2: <host> says it has NO CAPABILITY for AUTHENTICATE LOGIN

imapsync also dumps the helo string, and it is missing:

 Host2: * OK [CAPABILITY IMAP4rev1 LITERAL+ ... STARTTLS

AUTH=PLAIN] Dovecot ready.

I've restarted the dovecot service with 'service dovecot restart' and even rebooted the machine.

There is nothing reported in any on the log files (/var/mail/dovecot.log and /var/log/mail.<level>).

Any ideas why dovecot is not honoring the setting in its config file?

and the settings are *really* in /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf or in some ".d"-folder which may or may not be included?

I believe they are in /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf:

cat /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf | grep -i auth_

auth_mechanisms = plain login digest-md5 cram-md5

my local machine is configured like below for years and it works

well, post the whole config-file and strip only what is really needed to keep secret
