Either the channel has CanTryAgain = False (in which case Empathy should just
close it, and can try again when connection is re-attempted), or it has
CanTryAgain = True but doesn't implement it correctly.

In this case it looks as though it's Empathy that's wrong:

    case PROP_CAN_TRY_AGAIN:
      /* Wocky can't retry SASL authentication (although XMPP can) */
      g_value_set_boolean (value, FALSE);
      break;

Alternatively, someone could redo Wocky's authentication API to support
attempting authentication more than once on the same connection.
