For features requests please open a ticket on our bug tracker and tag it
as a feature request. Anything requested in the list and for which we do
not have a ticket will eventually be forgotten :-)

OpenSMTPD only supports crypt(3) based auth at this point.
It can authenticate against the system user-base by default, or it can
authenticate against a table containing crypt(3)-ed users if !system
authentication is desired, but it cannot use non crypt(3) authentication
at this point.
