Watch out for configuration directives 'security' and 'sasl-secprops'.
You might want to set TLSCipherSuite to avoid that a client uses a weak cipher
or crypto protocol.

But strictly speaking nothing prevents a misconfigured client to send
clear-text credentials over the wire. Rejecting processing them only gives a
strong hint that this is not the desired behaviour...
