No, the SASL mechanisms listed in the AUTH keyword in the EHLO response 
are unordered.

The choice of mechanism to use is entirely up to the client.  Cyrus-sasl 
tends to prefer GSSAPI over just about everything else, so if you don't 
want to use that you need to explicitly call out a different mechanism (as 
Ken pointed out).
