My proxy blocks the connection to IRC. But to my surprise freenode doesn't accept connections from tor network.
I added the onion address in Xchat as FreenodeOverTor in the network list.
I installed SASL plugin in Xchat. Used the command
/sasl -set FreenodeOverTor nick passwd
However I am unable to connect. What to do?
Assuming all versions work the same, you can put /msg nickserv ghost name password as a connect command under server settings for freenode.
To change your nick as well is a little tricky - type in
/msg nickserv ghost username password
Then CTRL SHIFT u a
/nick username
As one line. This should do both commands one after another
You need to specify a SocksPort in the torrc file on the IP of the network where you want to expose the proxy. Note that the port must be different to the one used for the local connections (9050 by default). Given that the IP address where you Tor runs is 192.168.2.10 you should add:
SocksPort 192.168.2.10:9100
Also I have set a SockPolicy to accept the connections from the local network. Given that your local network is *192.168.2.0 you should add:
SocksPolicy accept 192.168.2.0/24
Note that, according to the comment in the default configuration, the SockPolicy is not needed:
If no SocksPolicy is set, we accept (and only) requests that reach a SocksPort. Untrusted users who can access your SocksPort may be able to learn about the connections you make.

My thinking is that your SASL is probably not working. Check that SASL is working independent of Tor (you can use SASL auth when connecting over clear Internet) and once you get that down, try bringing Tor in the mix.
