These are two different authentication mechanisms (text and PAP), so I'm
assuming from what you said that you have a choice of authenticating either
way before flipping into PPP mode. (?)
If so, if you want to stay with the text authentication mechanism, you
might just flip something like this in a script:
DEVICE=cuaa0
exec 0< /dev/$DEVICE
exec 1> /dev/$DEVICE
chat ...
chat ...
slattach ...
# wait for slattach to take control.
exec 0<&- 1>&-
which just keeps the serial device open across chats until slattach/ppp can
take over ownership.
