The bit of code that is complaining is:

        if ((cli->sec_mode & NEGOTIATE_SECURITY_CHALLENGE_RESPONSE) == 0) {
                if (!lp_client_plaintext_auth() && (*pass)) {
                        DEBUG(1, ("Server requested plaintext password but "
                                  "'client plaintext auth' is disabled\n"));
                        return NT_STATUS_ACCESS_DENIED;

That's in source/libsmb/cliconnect.c

I haven't figured out yet why lp_client_plaintext_auth() is failing.
Hints welcome.
