Doubts about IMAP SSL authentication

Gnus successfully opened an SSL connection with my IMAP server (GMail)
as evidenced by the ff. lines in *Messages*:

imap: Connecting to imap.gmail.com...
imap: Opening SSL connection with `openssl s_client -quiet -ssl3 -
connect %s:%p'...done

However, further on, I see these lines:

imap: Authenticating to `imap.gmail.com' using `login'...
imap: Plaintext authentication...

Does this mean that Gnus ignored the SSL connection that was set up
and went with a less secure plaintext login method instead?
