dovecot --version will tell you the exact version. Why guess?

> Both non-SSL and SSL logins have the problem.

The version you are using is very old with respect to dovecots current 
state. Iirc, there were *many* changes to do with ldap, ssl and login 
issues that are fixed in current releases.

Please find a current release (rc29 is the current one), and see if that 
fixes your problems.
