well, this article says that it is not Mail.app's fault.

I use PAM for authentication and it works fine with Mail.app (it uses PLAIN)
login:
driver = plaintext
public_name = LOGIN
server_prompts = "Username:: : Password::"
server_condition=${if and {\
{!eq{$1}{}}\
{!eq{$2}{}}\
{pam{$1:${sg{$2}{:}{::}}}}\
}\
{yes}{no}}
plain:
driver = plaintext
public_name = PLAIN
server_prompts = :
server_condition=${if and {\
{!eq{$2}{}}\
{!eq{$3}{}}\
{pam{$2:${sg{$3}{:}{::}}}}\
}\
{yes}{no}}
