The LOGIN SASL mechanism (not to be confused with the LOGIN command) is an

The *only* reason for keeping support around for the LOGIN SASL mechanism
is that some broken software does not handle PLAIN properly but can do
LOGIN.
Anything other than outlook.* ?
Outlook should support PLAIN by now.
The problem that I referred to is with some SMTP and POP3 servers that do
not implement SASL correctly with mechanisms (such as PLAIN) which do not
have initial server challenges. As a result, it can be necessary for
clients to know about LOGIN in order to be able to authenticate.
