IF you are connecting and NOT spec'ing a connect type I believe it goes 
kerberos first, then plaintext/basic. 

you would need to check if basic is enabled via powershell (run powershell 
as admin to be safe)
winrm get winrm/config/service/auth

and it will return something like;
Auth
    Basic = false
    Kerberos = true
    Negotiate = true
    Certificate = false
    CredSSP = false
    CbtHardeningLevel = Relaxed


In order to make basic/plaintext function do this 
PS C:\Windows\system32> winrm set winrm/config/service/auth 
'@{Basic="true"}'
Auth
    Basic = true
    Kerberos = true
    Negotiate = true
    Certificate = false
    CredSSP = false
    CbtHardeningLevel = Relaxed


So basic = plaintext meaning you are sending your credentials in the clear. 
for testing this is probably OK, but realize that if you are going http 
port 5985 anyone can get the password pretty darn easy with a packet 
capture. I don't believe setting transport to ssl does anything in basic 
mode either.

Getting kerberos setup is more ideal for the long run, plus you wont have 
to create or embed some local account on all your machines.
