I haven't found out what dovecot lists as capabilities, but here's what
it says in the log on the connect after I disabled PLAIN auth
(anonymized IP numbers):
 Jan  1 14:31:39 myhost dovecot: imap-login: Disconnected (tried to use unsupported auth mechanism): method=PLAIN, rip=192.168.226.192, lip=192.168.185.190, TLS: Disconnected

So it kind of looks like Gnus never tries anything other than PLAIN...?

I use ~/.authinfo to get usernames and passwords.
