This is by design if the software is built with the SSLTYPE=nopwd option.
If you want to allow insecure logins on unprotected sessions (meaning that
anyone can sniff passwords!) you can rebuild the software with
SSLTYPE=unix.

I have no idea how to do this with a Debian package.  But, if you get the
sources directly from UW:
        ftp://ftp.cac.washington.edu/mail/imap.tar.Z
the command to build the software in the way you want is:
        make lnp SSLTYPE=unix
