Maybe I'm missing the point, but something *like* this comes into my
mind immediatly: (at least as POC it should be ok)

    PLAIN:
        driver = plaintext
        server_condition = ${perl{do_auth}{$auth1}{$auth2}{$sender_host_address}}


And provide a Perl subrouting do_auth, that does the actual
authentication.

But then, of course, you've to implement the actual auth in the perl
function.

Maybe even that would work, but I'm not sure if we're flexible enough
with the ACL

begin acl

    acl_auth:
        require = <pre-auth>
        require = <auth>
        require = <report>
        accept


begin authenticators

    PLAIN:
        driver = plaintext
        server_condition = acl_auth
