~$ apt-cache policy libsasl2-2
libsasl2-2:
  Installed: 2.1.22.dfsg1-8
  Candidate: 2.1.22.dfsg1-8
  Version table:
 *** 2.1.22.dfsg1-8 0
        500 ftp://ftp.nl.debian.org unstable/main Packages
        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status

No, it does not. I just tried it again, It still refuses to connect using 
NTLM.
