The idea is to use TLS to encrypt the connection before you send SMTP
AUTH data (using SASL) when your client can only authenticate using
method: plaintext/login.

AFAIK you are on the right way, but only need to pass the SASL
compilation part, which can be a time consuming task as for the
excellent documentation that comes with sasl ;)

For MySQL support I'd do what needs to be done when providing your own
method. I think there really was a section on 'selfwritten methods' in
the docs section of cyrus-SASL.
