Research direction
Start with openedx/core/djangoapps/user_authn/views/login_form.py at lines 189-209 and inspect the condition affecting the authn MFE when SAML is enabled. Verify the behavior with SAML enabled; done means the authn MFE is available in that configuration without breaking the existing login flow.
