Ayup, I'm going through the same thing right now with Entourage on the Mac.
The problem is you need to set AUTH to Plain for Outlook/Entourage because
they're completely stupid.  Since you're using TLS/SSL, Plain AUTH should
be fine, since it will be encrypted.

(this is *really* annoying for us, because we use Kerberos for everything!)

We configured sendmail and Cyrus IMAP to use saslauthd, which in turn,
uses Kerberos for authentication.  Sendmail is configured to provide
plain auth only over a TLS/SSL connection.

HTH,

Seeya,
Paul
