That's an interesting question. I had a similar problem this week to
force master and slave to sync via TLS. As long as the banner on slave
side offered "DIGEST-MD5 CRAM-MD5 NTLM LOGIN PLAIN" to connection plain.
I set "allowplaintext: no" and "sasl_mech_list: PLAIN" on slave and now
both are talking PLAIN via TLS. So if there is an option on master side
to force to login using eg. CRAM-MD5 then there might be an option too
to force TLS.

Don't understand, what is the client, the replica server?

Ciao!
