Pidgin always tries SASL authentication if it's offered. There is a  
SASL PLAIN mechanism, though the server is not offering it. Legacy IQ  
Authentication is what Pidgin falls back to after trying SASL, and  
from your log it *looks* like it's succeeding (at least, the server  
returns a positive result). If you specify a resource in the account  
settings, does it work properly?  Could you attach a debug log from  
Pidgin <2.6 connecting?
