As with many of Microsoft's implementations of open protocols, their TLS
implementation is rather flaky and requires specific username/password
prompts.

The simplest way to do it is just to use SSL, however that's not what
you asked for.

Searching the archives isn't always the simplest but if you know it's
there...

It's been a while since I've given two hoots about getting it working
with their implementation (we just tell users to use SSL) and the server
we got it running on doesn't exist any more so I'm just copying from the
thread, but:

LOGIN:
   driver                     = plaintext
   server_set_id              = $auth1
   server_prompts             = <| Username: | Password:
   server_condition        = ${if pam{$auth1:$auth2}{yes}{no}}
   server_advertise_condition = ${if def:tls_cipher }
