A client usually uses STARTTLS first and issues another EHLO to get new or
changed capabilities. Then he sees the AUTH. You can check that with
"openssl s_client -starttls smtp ...", swaks
(http://www.jetmore.org/john/code/swaks/) or smtptest from cyrus-imapd.

Sorry, can't help with that. I used CRAM/DIGEST-MD5 with SASL only some
years ago. I've no experience with your kind of setup.

Personally I wouldn't use both for new installations. LOGIN/PLAIN after
STARTTLS is just fine.
