   Support for SASL negotiation is REQUIRED in XMPP client and server
   implementations.

But support for the SASL EXTERNAL mechanism is optional, not required.

But... is this a feature nor absolutely standard widely used SASL mechanism?

You are right. But there's a patch that you can apply to ejabberd 2: http://www.ejabberd.im/cyrsasl_gssapi

Ejabberd 2.1.6 doesnt support client authentication by supplying a valid client SSL certificate!

Hmm... Tell me please, maybe, in the upcoming 3.0.0 release branch normal SASL support will be in a place?

I do not see any reference to implementation of that protocol in http://www.ejabberd.im/protocols

You could sponsorship the development of that feature.
