This is all I have configured for GMail, and it's working fine for me:

IMAPAccount gmail
Host imap.gmail.com
User da...@bo...
SSLType IMAPS
AuthMechs LOGIN 
CertificateFile ~/.certs/imap.gmail.com.pem
PassCmd "security find-generic-password -s imap.gmail.com -w" 

Do you have openssl installed?

The other thing you haven't shown us is the full text of the error
message.  Try running mbsync -V.

HTH,
