We have some instructions on the wiki for setting up SASL - MySQL so that you can use DBMail's user database as a SASL provider, but we do not have any support for asking SASL for authentication from an outside provider.
Patches are more than welcome for this, as we just haven't sat down to write the code yet. There's no technical or political reason, just lack of time and personal need on the part of developers.
