Maybe it's right? What do the log files say? (somewhere in
/var/log/auth.log on the server there sure is a hint on what is
happening. At least I'd guess that, since your config tells dovecot to
use PAM).

There is some config setting to debug authentication, but it escapes me
at the moment (just ask again and I'll look it up).

Which dovecot version are you using? (a "dpkg -l dovecot" on the server
or similar might help).
