In my experience (dovecot 2.3.13 with disable_plaintext_auth = yes), it 
allowed plaintext on loopback interface, but not when accessing 
remotely. This is imho good, so that local webmail can access imap at 
localhost without wasting cpu cycles on ecnryption.

I have the option near the top of the file, not in any block. E.g. right 
after listen.
