Fix error reporting added in ae9c606ed22 (imap-send: support CRAM-MD5
authentication, 2010-02-15), the use of "srvc->host" here was
seemingly copy/pasted from other uses added in the same commit.

But here we're complaining about the "auth_method" being incorrect, so
let's note it, and not the hostname.

In a subsequent commit we'll alter other uses of "host" here after
getting rid of the non-tunnel OpenSSL codepath. This preparatory fix
makes that subsequent change smaller.
