SCRAM is certainly a good approach. But clients and servers need to
support that (I think most do). But it needs to be deployed and used
in practice as well.

PAKE is also quite interesting in this regard (I don't think these
are supported anywhere in the e-mail ecosystem, but I may be
misinformed):
