You have forgotten to quote the url:

$ anubisadm --list 'mysql://mail:address@hidden'

Yes, there were a discrepancy between the docs and the code. It has
already been fixed in the repository.

Please provide more detail on your setup (your main and user rc
files, the debugging output produced etc. The more info the better).

That's correct. In accordance to RFC 2222 (Chapter 3. "Introduction
and Overview")

   "SASL mechanisms are named by strings, from 1 to 20 characters in"
   "length, consisting of upper-case letters, digits, hyphens, and/or"
   "underscores"

Notice explicit requirement of upper-case letters.
