Sorry if this is just obvious but... Everyone keep stating that STARTTLS is not supported in 2.1.x I'm assuming that it just doesn't work for the Backend Authentication in a Murder since I'm using it to connect to my standalone server just fine. Or do I have something very worng going on here?

OK. That makes sense. Are there any SASL mechs that can use PAM?
Like Rob said, just PLAIN, which will require you to use STARTTLS,
which is only in 2.2.  That being said, since you will likely only
have one or two proxy admins, you could just put them in sasldb2 and
use DIGEST-MD5.
