Are you using sasldb2 to authenticate?  /etc/sasldb2 is only used if
your using the SASL database as the password repository.  In imapd.conf
what is your sasl_pwcheck_method & sasl_mech_list?

If you want to use saslauthd set -
sasl_pwcheck_method: saslauthd
sasl_mech_list: PLAIN

and run saslauthd set to use PAM and you can authenticate with whatever
else you use to authenticate users (WHICH BY THE WAY, IN ALL OF THIS,
YOU HAVEN'T SAID HOW YOU AUTHENTICATE USERS CURRENTLY).
