Correct. Active Directory does not store its passwords in plain-text. Active Directory only accepts NTLM/MSCHAPv2 authentication (or Kerberos, but that's a whole different kettle of fish).

Additionally, you are better off testing EAP-TTLS/EAP-MSCHAPv2 or EAP-PEAP with Active Directory since that is what the general use case is. For that, you need eapol_test, which is part of the wpa_supplicant package. 

See http://deployingradius.com/documents/protocols/compatibility.html first, then http://confluence.diamond.ac.uk/display/PAAUTH/Using+Active+Directory+as+authentication+source and http://confluence.diamond.ac.uk/display/PAAUTH/Building+eapol_test+in+wpa_supplicant for details :-)
