how can it be more secure to blindly trust an IP address
comapred to a combination of username + password?

in case of open your doors for an IP you do it for any
malware running there, in case auf SASL the malware needs
to find valid credentials

if you want to get 100% sure you use both - specific
credentails only allowed from limited and known IP's
