I'm not convinced that this should be changed.
For one, the debug log should contain exactly what goes over the wire. 
Further, non-SASL auth is deprecated and shouldn't be used anyway. Also, in 
non-SASL auth, error replies coming in from the server may contain the 
password as well.
By the way, XEP-0077 (In-Band Registration) is another case where the log may 
contain clear text passwords.
