So you're thinking of an installation that is for example Kerberos-only and only wants to advertise GSSAPI to clients, but still supporting PLAIN to submit server? Maybe the solution then in v2.0 is:

auth_mechanisms = gssapi
remote submit.server.org {
  auth_mechanisms = gssapi plain
}

(although ip-specific settings don't currently work for auth settings, but that's a solvable problem.)
