Same here, sort of. Either I get the described behaviour, or mutt will say
"sasl authentication failed". The trick here is that I use different sasl
authentication mechanisms for these servers: one is via GSSAPI, and the
other one uses DIGEST-MD5. If I loose the connection to the latter one,
when I try to reconnect the password (which is asked again) is said to
always be incorrect. I have to quit and restart mutt.
Mutt version here is 1.5.5.1, sasl is 2.1.15 and the imap server is
cyrus-imapd-2.1.16.
