Unfortunately, your patch works only for PLAIN authentication, where all
the data is sent in the initial AUTH command, and so is available all
the time for more than one authenticator. In effect, your patch works by
luck. It does not work at all when authenticators that prompt for data,
e.g. LOGIN or CRAM-MD5, are involved.
For this reason, I can't implement your patch.
The second patch (for a condition for AUTH on the MAIL command) is OK.
