i tried with
'{SSHA256.hex}acb600a04d0816cd3242a5489e3ac39b4f9f7c9dedacbd754f93c769ac4829e1db7fae58'
(generated with the php script from the wiki) and i also tried with:

doveadm pw -s SHA -u user at domain.com

{SHA}kLF2K2vi+AxTEJ7kOZqXbjNnYhE=

With both examples i got the error "Password in passdb is not in expected
scheme", the select query is a simple select.

Thanks again!
