There never seems to have been a response to this. Given that most of the older email applications that need Stunnel to provide TLS are also likely to lack in-built OAuth 2, and the number of people that use Gmail, it's off some importance. Does Stunnel offer any built-in functionality that will enable OAuth2? If not, are there any plans to add any? Given that Google is going to insist on OAuth2 from 31st May, it's of some urgency. As an alternative approach, is it possible to use an application called O2Popper, described as "a mail proxy application that enables continuous use of mail software and systems that do not support Gmail's OAuth2", as a front end to Stunnel?
