We need the plaintext because we need to make not only arcfour-hmac-md5
key (the unicodePwd, the NT hash), but also AES keys and (if configured)
DES keys.

You can set only the unicodePwd if you must, to the NT hash value, but
not a {SSHA} value.  You cannnot currently do this via tools, but see
discussions on this list for examples of code that can set the magic
flags to allow this.
