As long as there is setuid bit set and owner root, you should be fine.

That's a bit strange. Most probably your trouble is owner of this file. I am
using only ports for installing and mine (see above) is owned by courier. I
did a small check and verified my webadmin runs as user courier. Most
probably yours too, and as authdaemonrc is nor readable for user courier, no
setting could be read, and you have not the expected output.
Try changing authdaemonrc file owner to courier, group courier. According to
what I see on my server you should achieve expected results. This does not
explains why did you got into this situation, but that's another story.

I verified everything mentioned above without SSL, too, so most probably just
simple chown could be a solution for you.
