I tried it with Authen::SASL. You'll need to use a callback: 
#!/usr/bin/perl -l

BEGIN {
    $| = 1;
    require MIME::Base64;
    require Authen::SASL;
}

use strict;
use autodie;
use warnings;
use Net::SMTP;

my $host = 'mailhost';
my $user = 'user';
my $pass = 'pass';

my $smtp = Net::SMTP->new(
           Host  => $host,
           Hello => 'your.mail.domain',
           Time  => 30,
           Debug => 1,
                       
);

my $sasl;
my $mechanisms =  ['AUTH', 500];
die "Couldn't login: $!" unless \&auth;

sub auth {
    my $sasl = Authen::SASL->new(
        mechanism => $mechanisms,
        debug => 1, 
        callback => { 
            user => $user, 
            pass => $pass, 
            authname => $user,
        } 
    );
}
