The cause is /lib/redmine/imap.rb:

imap = Net::IMAP.new(host, port, ssl)
imap.login('LOGIN', imap_options[:username], imap_options[:password]) unless imap_options[:username].nil?

The solution is to change imap.login with imap.authenticate in /lib/redmine/imab.rb and take the auth type as a parameter:

      folder = imap_options[:folder] || 'INBOX'
 +    auth = imap_options[:auth] || 'LOGIN'

      imap = Net::IMAP.new(host, port, ssl)
 -    imap.login('LOGIN', imap_options[:username], imap_options[:password]) unless imap_options[:username].nil?
 +    imap.authenticate(imap_options[:auth], imap_options[:username], imap_options[:password]) unless imap_options[:username].nil?

Also need to modify /lib/tasks/email.rb:

       folder=FOLDER            IMAP folder to read (default: INBOX)
 +     auth=AUTH                IMAP authentication type (default: LOGIN)

       :folder => ENV['folder'],
 +     :auth => ENV['auth'],
       :move_on_success => ENV['move_on_success'],

This now runs succesfully:

rake -f ./Rakefile redmine:email:receive_imap RAILS_ENV="production" host=<host> username=<username> password=<password> port=<port> ssl=1 auth=CRAM-MD5 --trace
