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}}
