Just to answer this; the "--allow-plain" and "allow plain auth in non ssl" arguments apply only to plain text connections, non-SSL. They are ignored by the server which uses --ssl. So your setup works fine, although some IMAP clients don't let you connect to IMAP on any other port than 143. If people complain about getting "connection refused" when connecting, and their clients can't use the port 993 service, you'll probably have to set up a service on port 143, but which doesn't allow plain text auth.
