Not a bug, this is the intended behavior. There is a sasldb saslauthd
module for this purpose, but it does restrict you to just the "plaintext"
mechanisms. It also doesn't build by default, because it tends to add
more confusion then its worth (it's sort of still considered
experimental, but the configure flag is --enable-auth-sasldb).
