I haven't looked at the problem myself.  Someone (Giampaolo?) told me that wrap_socket wouldn't work because of the fact that smtpd uses asynchat.

As for the 'particular circumstances' clause, I would suggest that one of the primary use cases for smtpd is in testing infrastructure (and that is in fact the motivation for this issue, for stdlib testing), and in that situation unencrypted passwords would not be an issue.

However, if wrap_socket/SMTPDS would work, it would make the feature useful beyond the testing arena.
