Here's the announcement post:
https://gsuiteupdates.googleblog.com/2019/12/less-secure-apps-oauth-google-username-password-incorrect.html

Note this is more than just unencrypted access, this is using password
based login at all.  Looks like it doesn't apply to SMTP, yet, probably
because of the number of printers and other embedded devices that don't
support oauth.

As for tools, last year I added support for OAUTHBEARER to mutt but by
shelling out to
https://github.com/google/gmail-oauth2-tools/blob/master/python/oauth2.py for
generating tokens.  The sasl level code to send the tokens is pretty
trivial, the annoying part is launching a browser and getting the token
back from it.

I don't know if/when this will apply to consumer accounts.
