could you please give a short reasoning why this is needed. Maybe using a Recommends would be good enough?

it is needed in order to be able to use git-send-email with smtp authentication ...
if it is not installed, git-send-email prints the message:

Need MIME::Base64 and Authen::SASL todo auth at /usr/bin/git-send-email line 652.

git-send-email is usable without, but since smtp authentication is broken without, i would strongly suggest to add a dependency, rather than a recommendation ...

git-send-email is usable without libauthen-sasl-perl, then it's unnecessary; I think using Recommends could be a better choice.

Fixed debdiff is attached.
