See rfc4616, 4954, 4959 and 5034.

SASL plain authentication allows
* 8bit passwords and usernames
* Admins can log with own password and selected user privileges/mailbox. Admins won't have to crack user passwords in order to do support.

Standards also require use of TLS or StartTLS before allowing SASL PLAIN.
