Does your password have any special characters?  You might want to try 
using single quotes:
   set imap_pass='yyyy'

If your password *contains* a single quote, then it should be quoted 
like:
   set imap_pass='yy'\''yy'

>et smtp_pass = ${imap_pass}

There's actually an old bug in Mutt pertaining to assigning directly 
from one config variable to another.  It will be fixed in the next major 
release, but until then I suggest you either duplicate the password or 
use a $my_ variable:
   set my_pass='yyyy'
   set imap_pass=$my_pass
   set smtp_pass=$my_pass

Try running at debug level 5.  Then you will see the actual
   LOGIN username password
as it is sent to the server.  That might give a clue what's happening.
