I had a similar experience. I couldn't get nnimap-authenticator
"login" to work. I had cram-md5 compiled into my imap server by
default, but hadn't set up the extra passwd file that system
requires. nnimap tried to use the best security system you have for
login by default. Once I had fixed the md5 login everything worked
fine.
Sounds like when you removed the authenticator variable, nnimap tried
to use it or the highest level of security you have correctly
installed on the server and worked for you too.
It would appear that something is not right in the way nnimap uses
this variable, although it can do the correct thing by default.
