To make sure I understand you, :set ?imap_pass is displaying the same 
value that appeared in the debug log, not the actual password, correct?

If that's the case, then mostly likely something else in your 
configuration is altering $imap_pass.  I would double check whether you 
are sourcing another file, or have an account-hook or something else 
going on.

As Nathan noted, the value seems to be base64 encoded binary data.
That might indicate you have done something like:
   set imap_pass=`cat foo`
somewhere else in your muttrc and directly read in the base64 data from 
some file.
