Not really. It is a clean modularization of some code that has been
done ad-hoc in imap.el and smtpmail.el (and sieve*.el, but that is not
part of Emacs).

Yes, I like it. It does not depend on any other libraries (self
contained), the API is documented in a TEXI manual (it seems
incomplete though) and mimics the standardized Java API for SASL. I
am using it in my local copies of imap.el and sieve*.el.
It is definitely better than having it implemented differently and
undocumented in imap.el/smtpmail.el which is the current situation.
I'll send the patch, track down papers, and then commit the patch
unless someone objects in the meantime.
