I do get these requests for password every now and then. With the
password filled in. It’s annoying but goes away pretty quickly.

I had a problem very much like this a few weeks ago. When I came back
to my machine after leaving MM running overnight it would prompt me
for some or all of the passwords for the 5 IMAP accounts that I
normally use. I discovered that if I just dismissed those dialogs MM
would try again and get the PW from the Keychain with no problem.
With some help I got MM to log what it was doing and discovered that
it was trying to access the keychain while the machine thought it was
in "dark wake" mode. This is Apple's internal name for Power Nap.
There are two problems with this: I don't have Power Nap enabled and
MM wasn't doing anything that should require the GUI to be active. I
gave up trying to find the problem and it eventually went away as
mysteriously as it started.
I don't use SSH or NAT. Some of the servers are on my local network
and some aren't.

I agree it seems (from what I can see) that MM thinks network
problems are authentication problems. What's interesting is that the
dialog box is for iCloud, which is not affected by the SSH issue. I
also just now discovered that the dialog box can go away on its own.
This morning, the laptop SSH connection had dropped, as has been
happening the past few days. MM had the dialog box up asking for the
iCloud password, and was displaying "(not available)" for those
accounts that are reached over SSH (not iCloud). Without touching MM,
I hunted in Keychain Access for the imap.mail.me.com password, and at
one point when I went back to MM to check the exact wording in the
dialog box, it had vanished. I hadn't yet reestablished the SSH, so
the those accounts were still greyed out with "(not available)".
