I am configuring a new mail server on RHEL 5 x64. I have configured dovecot as follows:

I'm getting the following error messages in /var/log/maillog:
Aug 5 20:57:45 [hostname] dovecot: imap-login: Aborted login: rip=::ffff:128.8.244.15, lip=::ffff:[server], TLS Aug 5 21:01:34 [hostname] dovecot: imap-login: Aborted login: user=<[me]>, method=PLAIN, rip=::ffff:[server], lip=::ffff:[server], TLS

You could see if auth_debug=yes shows more. Although debugging PAM problems is annoying because PAM's logging is so bad.

I find the message in the audit.log interesting because I configured the connection with SSL not TLS, but if I use TLS the result is the same.

I think you're confusing SSL and TLS with imaps port and STARTTLS command (and so do many client UIs..). You're going to be using TLS connections in any case.
