Simply setting your server to external authentication does not magically configure accounts on the Zimbra server, it merely allows them to authenticate against an external server.
If you can still log into the admin console you need to provision the accounts locally on the Zimbra server before they will be able to authenticate against the external server. For your admin account to login (to the web mail client?) it too would need to exist in the external authentication source.
Since you are trying to do something entirely different from what tribear is doing, you might want to start your own thread.

Tribear do you see anything in /var/log/mailbox.log that might relate to this?
