how does the above fits with the following lines from the
authdaemonrc you attached?
-
# Note that most information is sent to syslog at level 'debug', so
# you may need to modify your /etc/syslog.conf to be able to see it.
DEBUG_LOGIN=2
-
either you have an odd syslogd configuration, or you have not stopped
and started again your courier processes (a restart does not seem to
cut it). With that setting you should be able to see if the password
sent is correct or what other problem you might have.
Apparently, I do not have a syslog.conf or syslog daemon running. I am using
metalog as my system logger. I presume that it is essentially the same thing
so I have attached its conf file.
I've stopped then started the courier process over and logged the same error.

Also, please, don't HTML mail to lists.
Thanks for your reply. I'll be sure the send only plain text from now on. :-)
