As far as I remember the username/password authentication requires a 
PUSH/PULL channel that is only available when running in server mode 
(which in turn requires TLS mode, not a shared secret).

I havn't checked what the man page says, but I agree with you that these 
dependencies should be documented in the man page for the 
--auth-user-pass[-verify] options.
