This book is already very old.
Non-SASL authentication (jabber:iq:auth) has already been obsoleted (see 
http://xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0078.html). Many servers still support it 
though.

The error you get:

<error code="405" type="cancel">
<not-allowed xmlns="urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:xmpp-stanzas"/>
<text xmlns="urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:xmpp-stanzas">Connection
must
be encrypted.
</text>
</error>

says that you gmail server would allow you using this method only if 
your connection was encrypted (because in gmail setup this leads to 
sending password in plain text).
