Didn't I come to the conclusion that you could configure the plaintext
authenticator to support AUTH EXTERNAL? Ah yes, I wrote:

"My guess (though I haven't worked it through) is that you could

handle any number of data items (in this case 1), and it can test for
whether the session is encrypted or not."
