Dovecot doesn't try to use PAM unless you have it configured in  
config file, so either you have auth_passdb = pam elsewhere in the  
file, or you're modifying the wrong file.

In any case, I'd suggest you don't even try to use Dovecot 0.99.x  
versions. They're ancient and unsupported in case of problems.
