TIAAs I said, by using the "-x" mechanism, you are completely disabling SASL. Thus no SASL/EXTERNAL method is going to work.
You're talking about different things. "-x" on the commandline affects authentication between the client and the slapd. But he's talking about slapd being a read-only consumer with chaining to forward writes to a provider. In particular, he's talking about the authentication from the chain overlay to the provider. And obviously -x on the commandline has nothing to do with this question whatsoever.
