TLS client authentication is a scenario where you perform TLS
authentication where the client also has a certificate.  The server can
then use the contents of the client certificate to derive the username
(with no password, per se). For example, 'cyradm --tlskey <file>'.

The EXTERNAL mechanism should not be offered unless TLS client
authentication was successful during the starttls step.
