Hi,

AFAICS, sieve-manage.el doesn't support STARTTLS at all.  (The comment
in sieve-manage.el says it is not well tested - is it tried at all?)

;;; Commentary:

;; This library provides an elisp API for the managesieve network
;; protocol.
;;
;; It uses the SASL library for authentication, which means it
;; supports DIGEST-MD5, CRAM-MD5, SCRAM-MD5, NTLM, PLAIN and LOGIN
;; methods.  STARTTLS is not well tested, but should be easy to get to
;; work if someone wants.

Please describe exactly what actions triggered the bug, and
the precise symptoms of the bug.  If you can, give a recipe
starting from `emacs -Q':

$ emacs -Q -l sieve

;; example from sieve-manage.el ...
(with-current-buffer (sieve-manage-open "imap.example.com" 4190)
  (sieve-manage-authenticate)
  (sieve-manage-listscripts))

;; Type C-x C-e ...

Debugger entered--Lisp error: (error "Couldn't figure out authenticator for server")
  signal(error ("Couldn't figure out authenticator for server"))
  error("Couldn't figure out authenticator for server")
  sieve-manage-open("imap.example.com" 4190)
  (set-buffer (sieve-manage-open "imap.example.com" 4190))
  (save-current-buffer (set-buffer (sieve-manage-open
    "imap.example.com" 4190)) (sieve-manage-authenticate)
    (sieve-manage-listscripts)) 
  (with-current-buffer (sieve-manage-open "imap.example.com" 4190)
    (sieve-manage-authenticate) (sieve-manage-listscripts)) 
  eval((with-current-buffer (sieve-manage-open "imap.example.com" 4190)
    (sieve-manage-authenticate) (sieve-manage-listscripts)) nil)

The commentary in the current version says:

  ;; 2013-06-05 Enabled STARTTLS support, fixed bit rot.

which post-dates Emacs 24.3.
So maybe you should update to Emacs >= 24.4, and try again.
