It's now automatically chosen for you, based on the socket type in use. For UNIX sockets and for TCP on Windows, we use `EXTERNAL`. For TCP sockets on non-Windows, we use `ANONYMOUS` (i-e no authentication at all). On Unix machines, people should use the UNIX socket anyway and if EXTERNAL is possible, it's best to stick to it. `dbus-broker` also doesn't support anonymous authentication and since they only support Unix sockets for transport, it means they don't support anonymous authentication at all.
