This shows that the server is offering possible authenticators, 
including LOGIN and PLAIN, so the problem doesn't seem to be on Gmail's 
side.

It looks like you've set $smtp_authenticators.  I'm assuming you 
previously had it unset and were getting the same error, and are trying 
Andrzej's suggestion here.

In any case, "login" is clearly being offered by the server, but:

The Cyrus SASL library is reporting it can't use it and then:

Mutt gives up and tries the next one.

This looks like something is wrong with your Cyrus SASL installation. 
On Debian, for instance, the authentication modules come in a different 
package from the libsasl2 package: libsasl2-modules.  I would check to 
make sure you have at least the standard modules installed on your 
system.

If you can't find out the problem, you could also try compiling Mutt 
with gsasl support instead.  It's new in Mutt 2.2.x, and so isn't well 
tested yet, but might work for you.
