May I ask for what reason you recommend to allow unencrypted plain authentication? You should better explain how to enable STARTTLS to secure PLAIN/LOGIN mechanisms.
Yes, that would be better. However, I did not /know how/ to do that when I wrote and last updated the HOWTO. Several people have been kind enough to send me material on this issue, and I hope to find the time soon to play, test, and learn the material so I can update the HOWTO. The /only/ reason this has not yet been done is lack of time on my part.
