Comment (by MattyRob):

 The reason these blocks of code are removed is because we don't include
 the necessary 'extras' used by PHPMailer to make these work.

 For example the NTLM code block contains the following line:
 `require_once 'extras/ntlm_sasl_client.php';`

 This library file is not bundled with WordPress so this would result in an
 ugly looking failure.

 In a similar way, the 'XOAUTH2' authentication method calls the
 $OAuth->getOauth64() function and as the `class.phpmaileroauthgoogle.php`
 library is also not included, this would fail.

 To include these methods would require bundling these extra files from the
 PHPMailer package.
