Now, repeat with squirrelmail - I suspect you'll ffind either that
squirrelmail isn't using PLAIN, or is but not using TLS.  Worth
checking that you've allowed PLAIN in the auth methods for dovecot.

Alternatively, you're authenticating this with SASL and you need to
set the correct domain for authentication.
