thanks

TL;DR: my fault for suggesting a bug report here, I think; and I've
therefore closed.

I was able to test this approach by adding :id 'twich; shown off below.

Although I'm curious how this worked before, I've closed despite the
"regression"; if that wasn't TRT I believe replying to the original
bug address (not the -done@debbugs... variant), will reopen it.

My test:

(defun auth-for (host)
  "Get the password for HOST."
  (let ((found (nth 0 (auth-source-search :host host))))
    (let ((secret (plist-get found :secret)))
      (if (functionp secret)
  (funcall secret)
secret))))

(defun twitch-irc ()
  "Connect to twitch IRC via twitch."
  (interactive)
  (erc-tls :server "irc.chat.twitch.tv"
           :port 6697
           :nick "me"
   :id 'twitch
           :password (auth-for "twitch")))

M-x twich-ircRET

FTR, I didn't try adjusting `erc-network-alist'
