The "escape character" is a carriage return, and is part of the line 
terminator for all IMAP commands sent, so that's okay.

The value after your username should be your actual password, 
$imap_pass, for the LOGIN authentication type.  I've looked at the code 
again, and tried it myself.  At least for me it is that value.  Perhaps 
I'm missing something.

If you enter
   :set ?imap_pass
in mutt do you see your expected password printed out?

Also, you may want to try configuring '--with-sasl' and see if that 
helps.

As an aside, if you do get it working, you probably also want to add 
header caching (--enable-hcache).
