Do not propagate any mechanism which your server setup does not really
is able to handle. So restricting the offered mech list to plain and
login when using saslauthd is the proper thing to do.
You should protect the user's authentication data transmitted in
cleartext (just base64 encoded) over the wire by enforcing TLS.
