I've no idea what that is, is it the weird format 
starting with $apr1$ or $1$ ?  With AUTH PLAIN 
<off topic="sasl"> and AUTH LOGIN </off> you get
or send passwords as plain text, as the name says.

The server isn't supposed to offer PLAIN outside of 
TLS, and if it offers PLAIN anyway the client isn't
supposed to use it.  

<off topic="sasl"> Try AUTH LOGIN </off>, see also
<http://www.technoids.org/saslmech.html>.  If that
also fails the issue might be your "MD5 format" (?)

Maybe test the part after the third "$" instead of
"debug" for the $apr1$whatever$wannabecrypt format.
