throws org.jivesoftware.smack.SmackException$NoResponseException while logging in to XMPP server using JMeter

I am trying to log into a local OpenFire XMPP server through JMeter. I was able to connect but am unable to login as it throws the following Exception from jmeter.log file:

I have done debugging and realised that JMeter during the authentication uses STARTTLS, however the local Openfire xmpp server that I am using is http and doesn't use SSL. I have tried disabling SSL by adding server.rmi.ssl.disable=true to my jmeter.properties file, yet it still uses STARTTLS during authentication. How can I change it to SASL? If anyone have faced the same issue and resolved it or have any solution for my problem, please let me know.
