It's not possible to use plain text authentication with OpenSMTPD.

I guess your migration plan has to give OpenSMTPD a different hostname or port
and let postfix run
till ever device is moved to a TLS config.
The question is confusing:
PLAIN AUTH is an authentication method which uses plaintext credentials and
encodes them in base64
in opposition to other authentication methods relying on challenges.
OpenSMTPD supports PLAIN AUTH, what it doesn't support is authentication
outside of a TLS channel.
So yes, you can use OpenSMTPD with plain authentication BUT you can't use
authentication if you do
not setup TLS first.

Understood. My old Postfix installation doesn't use TLS. Following
Thomas comment I am going to install OpenSMTP and migrate devices to TLS.
Thank you very much.
P.D: Sorry for my bad English
