Currently we support the following SASL mechanisms:

CRAM-MD5, DIGEST-MD5, KERBEROS_V4, LOGIN, PLAIN, and SPA (aka NTLM)

We've also got code for ANONYMOUS, but it's not hooked up to anything
iirc, mostly because it works slightly different from the rest.

At some point we also plan on adding GSSAPI (but so far no one seems to
have requested it?).
