It is not just that - I think mozilla tries something else first (not
PLAIN or LOGIN - maybe CRAM-MD5?)

Because, I have this exim setup that authenticates PLAIN and LOGIN without
any problems for assorted clients (outlook-*, other exims / sendmails etc)
but fails miserably when I try to auth from mozilla.

login:
  driver = plaintext
  public_name = LOGIN
  server_prompts = "Username:: : Password::"
  server_condition = "${if and {{!eq{$1}{}}{!eq{$2}{}} \
        {crypteq{$2}{${extract{1}{:} \
        {${lookup{$1}lsearch{/usr/local/etc/exim/exim.passwd} \
        {$value}{*:*}}}}}}}{1}{0}}"
  server_set_id = $1


plain:
  driver = plaintext
  public_name = PLAIN
  server_condition = "${if and {{!eq{$2}{}}{!eq{$3}{}} \
        {crypteq{$3}{${extract{2}{:} \
        {${lookup{$2}lsearch{/usr/local/etc/exim/exim.passwd} \
        {$value}{*:*}}}}}}}{1}{0}}"
  server_set_id = $2
