You can view your config with:
slapcat -n0
And verify that object exists.
If you're receiving this error due to an ACL problem, verify you have the proper configuration in place to authenticate as the rootdn using sasl/external. See the slapd-config manpage, and see section 15.2 (and in particular 15.2.5) of the Administrator's guide, and reference your OS/distro documentation.

I commented the mech_list in slapd.conf
The ldapsearch result is now No such object

I'm missing some context here. Most likely you have a mech_list hard coded in your slapd.conf sasl, which does not include the external mech.
