Martin says: "I cannot see any particular circumstances where unencrypted 
passwords for smtpd would be acceptable, given that there are perfectly 
established technologies. So I remain -1 on this patch."

Here's a use case: a testing SMTP server, such as lazr.smtptest which is built 
on top of smtpd.  In some testing scenarios, you really don't care about 
STARTTLS complications, and everything's connecting over localhost anyway.
