Sure, but this isn't necessarily an interop problem.   As far as I can
tell, it's an operational problem: XMPP is not very popular, and there are
no good XMPP services anymore.   Used to be I could just use Google

TCP, IP, UDP, NFS, DHCP, TLS, SSH, FTP, HTTP, NNTP, SIP, ...

Granted, there are issues with SIP, but we actually have a lot of really
solid successes, not just SMTP, POP and DNS.
