The only way would be to write checkpassword script that parses it.
http://wiki.dovecot.org/AuthDatabase/CheckPassword

Easier would be to write a script that parses the file and creates
passwd-like file, which Dovecot can authenticate against, and then just
keep those two files in sync.

I don't think XMail supports authentication via Dovecot.
