You can't really assume that the client will do SASL after successful
TLS negotiation.  They might negotiate compression, ACK, registration,
non-sasl auth, dialback, or some other stream feature.
In all the implementations I've seen this is allowed and SASL is not
necessarily even required on an XMPP stream.
