Are you using cram-md5 or other sasl authentication for anything?  If not,
deleting /etc/sasldb should fix this problem (drastic but easy).

If you are using sasl, but not cram-md5, then disable cram-md5 to fix it.
Not sure how you do this, but it should be a normal cyrus/sasl config file
setting.  Others have actually done this by deleting the md5 auth libraries
from the sasl plugin directory, but that also is really drastic.

Actually, IMP doesn't know what is going on.  It is php and its compiled-in
c-client.  So the real question is how to make php and/or php's c-client
use plain instead of cram-md5.
 
If all else fails, I would say check the php support lists for an answer
and/or check the cyrus/sasl lists for an answer, since this is really
an issue with your php/c-client interfacing to your cyrus/sasl, and
nothing really to do with IMP.
