[issue15014] smtplib: add support for arbitrary auth methods

[Barry A. Warsaw]

Barry A. Warsaw added the comment:

Also, smtpd is not compatible with auth challenges because found_terminator() doesn't know that the response its getting isn't a command but instead a challenge response.  So really we need another bug to track fixes to smtpd.py to handle challenge responses.  It makes no sense for smtpd and smtplib not to be compatible.

(Who wants to reimplement smtpd in asyncio? :)
