I suspect, in this context, you mean SSL not SASL.
No - I don't use SSL.
JFTR - SSL is the predecessor of TLS, and STARTTLS is what you
need before AUTH PLAIN (= SASL PLAIN). Here is what I see with
one MSA:

If I try "auth PLAIN" I get an error, that's illegal without
TLS (STARTTLS). IIRC "auth LOGIN" worked, but "LOGIN" is no
SASL-mechanism, it's also not specified in an RfC. Bye, Frank
