Look 3/4 down the page. I think this is what you are looking for.

Thanks.

The problem turned out to be that I hadn't included the "@default-realm" in the username part of the passwd-file. Which I found by enabling "auth-verbose".

username@default-realm:{PLAIN}plainpassword

Which is sensible as we can then use the same scheme for other domains if we ever need to.
