The latter. Probably looking up the password from an external file.

You configure something after "begin authenticators", as an
authentication driver, for the correct SASL method.
For instance, if the server you're talking to "AUTH CRAM-MD5 PLAIN" you
might configure:
auth_cram:
driver = cram_md5
public_name = CRAM-MD5
client_name = dan
client_secret = sekret
In reality, you'll use something like ${lookup...} instead of
hard-coding passwords in the config file.
