To manage migration with Liquibase, I am using a properties file that holds all the information about the database connection. The pitfall of this file is that it discloses my database password since it is a plain text file. Is there a way to avoid that ? Does Liquibase support any kind of encryption for the properties file ?

Actually, this article is not answering the question but advising some workaround. The link does not talk about encrypting the properties itself but about using encrypted values from Maven instead.
