An alternative would be to put AUTHENTICATE options in () before the SASL mechanism name.
While it might be slightly cleaner, both UW and Cyrus both already implement the original AUTHENTICATE syntax.

b authenticate (SID 1234432143) plain AGFybnQAdG5yYQ==
The client is not going to use it unless the server supports it.
