Yes, because that is invalid! You can only add those MECHs which appear
running "saslauthd -v". Whether then SASL uses PLAIN, LOGIN or an MD5
method is a total different thing.

Put shadow in /etc/sysconfig/saslauth - which is btw. the default
setting - and you are able to use PLAIN with your client.
