Set default_pass_scheme to PLAIN as you store passwords in plain text.

For improved security, store the passwords in HMAC-MD5-format.

For CRAM-MD5 auth you do not need to store the password in PLAIN
format. It is ok to store the password in HMAC-MD5 format.

For DIGEST-MD5 you need to store the pass in PLAIN format.
