Set the value correctly:
# Whether authentication is mandatory when connecting to the client's
# rsyncd.  By default this is on, ensuring that BackupPC will refuse to
# connect to an rsyncd on the client that is not password protected.
# Turn off at your own risk.
#
$Conf{RsyncdAuthRequired} = 1;

In you case, I suspect you need to set it to 0
