Gotta after some debugging: post_vars was missing
So this will verification will work for username or email login:
if request.vars.username and not IS_EMAIL()
(request.vars.username)[1]:
auth.settings.login_userfield = 'email'
request.vars.email = request.vars.username
request.post_vars.email = request.vars.email
request.vars.username = None
request.post_vars.username = None
