Comment(by andy753421):

 I got hit by the same issue on freenode using a tethering plan (T-Mobile
 oddly enough though). Anyway, I wrote a patch for sasl authentication and
 attached it, it works for me using pidgin 2.7.11 (patch is against 2.9.0
 though).

 Note: freenode doesn't prefix the AUTHENTICATE message with
 :whatever.freenode.net so the message fails to parse. There's a lame work-
 around in irc_msg_cap; it seems that you can send `AUTHENTICATE PLAIN' and
 `AUTHENTICATE <password data>' both at the same time without waiting for a
 reply from the first message.

 I'm not really a pidgin developer so feel free to fix or point out any
 coding conventions that I violated. Also, if one of the devs wants to
 suggest a proper way to fix the above mentioned lame workaround, feel free
 to do so and I'll fix that as well.
