Research direction
Start by reproducing account setup on Thunderbird for Android 11.0b3 with the reported university IMAP server and inspect the authentication failure; the issue includes no source file, test, or logs. Done means the cause of the unsupported AUTHENTICATE mechanism is identified and IMAP fetching works for the affected account.
