Of course not, it should be:
smtp_sasl_mechanism_filter = plain
I am surprised to hear that "login" works and "plain" does not, are you
sure about that? You can also set the filter to:
smtp_sasl_mechanism_filter = plain, login
and let SASL choose whichever it prefers when both are offered.

The mechanism name is "PLAIN" or "plain" (case insensitive). Both
"PLAIN" and "LOGIN" use cleartext passwords, there is no mechanism
named "password".
