This sounds wrong.

What conflicting plugin?
That's a core config option.

Also, I wonder how you grepped the code, since while
RT-Authen-ExternalAuth documents that you should set the 4.2
compatible config variable, when those docs were added the code wasn't
updated to match.

A bug should be filed in the RT::Authen::ExternalAuth config.

Until then, you could set the antiquated $AutoCreate to {Privileged =>
1} and just ignore the warning and it should work.
