Description

I noticed this is not supported. Is there any plan to do this or would you be open to contributions?

It should be straighforward to do. The `config.Net.SASL.TokenProvider` will need to be set. A token provider can be created using https://pkg.go.dev/golang.org/x/oauth2/clientcredentials. The same CA used for the TLS config can also be used to verify the OAuth server. The client credentials flow can be used for this.

Research direction

No files or tests are named in the issue; start by locating config.Net.SASL.TokenProvider and the existing TLS configuration and authentication setup. Trace how SASL mechanisms are configured, then verify that client-credentials OAuth bearer authentication works and that the TLS CA is applied to the OAuth server connection.
