for some reason smtp-auth always fails, tested over telnet like here,
and various progs. pop3 auth works fine, ive been looking all over for
more doc's regarding its functionality in qmail-ldap. I am using the
/var/qmail/boot service scripts unmodified, my qmail-smtpd.rules looks
like this.
127.0.0.1:allow,RELAYCLIENT="",SMTPAUTH="",NOPBS=""
:allow,SMTPAUTH="",RCPTCHECK="",REJECTEXEC="",NOPBS=""
Is there anything else that needs to be done to
get it to work?
Have you tried AUTH LOGIN?

yes, it doesnt work either.

Show me your /service/qmail-smtpd/run file.

#!/bin/sh
exec 2>&1

try this:
        $PBSTOOL \
        $QMAIL/bin/qmail-smtpd \
        $QMAIL/bin/auth_smtp /usr/bin/true 2>&1
Restart the qmail-smtpd after.

hmm tried it and it dident do anything different, I have annother system
thats configured about the same way, and it works :/  it was on an older
version so I tried that version on this system and that dident fix
anything either.. pop3 authentication works fine however.

hmm... Im intrigued with this line:
>>>>>AUTH PLAIN (mimencoded pass)
That line should be:
AUTH PLAIN (mime([NULL]username[NULL]pass))
I'm attaching a small perl script to build this string. Try to paste 
this string in the auth plain command. You need to install MIME::Base64 
module. (http://search.cpan.org)

Otherwise, try to raise your loglevel. I hope you compiled your 
installation with -DDEBUG.

Include those lines in the beginning of your qmail-smtpd run file:
LOGLEVEL=259
export LOGLEVEL
Try to authenticate again and check the qmail-smtpd logs.
I hope you find out what is wrong,
