The management plugin shows that only PLAIN and AMQPLAIN are enabled.

Somehow the auth_mechanisms setting in the config file is ignored by  
the broker, no matter which mechanisms I list there. (I have verified  
that the config file itself is being used.)

Any hints? Should I do something to install the  
rabbitmq-auth-mechanism-ssl plugin (other than copying the .ez file to  
the plugins dir)?
