With CRAM-MD5 a "man in the middle" could hijack the session.

Also, IIRC, there is a tendency to end up storing the
password in plaintext at the mail server, which is not good.

Not so - they are encrypted on the server,

They are, indeed, encrypted. The only weak spot is that 'sasldb2.db'
is not owned by root, but by something like "cyrus:mail". Potentially,
that means not just the superuser has access to it.
