Take a look at the xdb_ldap package available at
  http://www.jabberstudio.org/projects/xdb_ldap/project/view.php
which shows you how something like this can be done.  Your situation is
a lot easier than the LDAP way and shouldn't be too difficult to
implement.

Since the normal jabber way of sending passwords back and forth is in
plaintext you can take that and then query the SASL password files.
