RFC 2487 STARTTLS
RFC 2554 SMTP-Auth, + M$ Exchange / + Netscape
( + a bunch of other authenticator methods )

Under encryption, plaintext username + password login.
The IETF protocols DO NOT support plaintext login for
obvious security reasons.

No hazzles about autenticating by certificates.

Availability of the feature is probably excidingly rare..
