Hello,
Thank you for the bug report. I can confirm Ubuntu does not currently support the httpform auth mechanism. I reproduced this with the following in both 22.04 and 22.10:

# lxc launch images:ubuntu/jammy test-saslauthd
# lxc exec test-saslauthd bash

# apt update && apt dist-upgrade -y
# apt install sasl2-bin
# saslauthd -v

It seems that it would be relatively easy to add this to Ubuntu if needed. Is there anything specific you require this authentication mechanism for instead of the other available ones?
